Ahhhhhh....what a week! I just spent the last 5 nights in Muenster, Germany with a really good 
friend of mine from Bible College waaaay back from the 2000\2001 school year. Anne and I were cabinmates there and it was so great to see her again and to see what she's been up to since I saw her last in 2004 when she came to visit me in Winnipeg! As usual it was really nice to stay at someone's home...it's always more comfortable and Anne has this amazing red 
couch that I got to sleep on! It was so cool, I really want to get one just like it! Anne was on holidays from her job at the hospital in Muenster so we pretty well just spent the week shopping, renting movies, riding our bikes around town, drinking Starbucks coffees (Anne's an addict too!) and just soaking up the amazing warm weather in the various parks around Muenster. It was really cool to just live like a regular german for a couple of days! May first was a national holiday here in 
Germany so her sister invited us both over to her place for a BBQ. It was really nice to visit with Anne's family! Her sister has 5 kids (well above the national average here in Germany) and they were all really sweet kids. The youngest two were so adorable! On wednesday we visited the weekly market and bought everything for our supper that night fresh from the market, including the fish! It was so yummy, especially the strawberries. I also caught up on some major movie watching with Anne, I think we saw about 4 movies together while I was there! It was kind of sad to leave Muenster today, I was getting so comfortable at her place but it was time to move on to my next destination! 
Anne also left for Vienna today as well so I really had no choice anyway! Yes Tricia, I am finally in Norway! I took my 50 cent flight from Bremen to Sandefjord Torp Airport and am staying in Tønsberg tonight. Tomorrow I'm heading to Bergen, I hope it doesn't rain on me the entire time I'm there like the weather network website says it's supposed to! I'll post pics of Muenster when I can!

Norway... I'm not sure I can contain my jealousy!
If it makes you feel better in regards to the weather, it rained the entire time we were in Norway last year WITH THE EXCEPTION of Bergen. It was kind of messed up since Bergen get like 270 days of rain a year. Kurt Nilsen is from Bergen. Maybe you'll see him. If you do, take a picture for me and tell him to hurry up and finish recording the cd he's working on.
Ok, have fun in one of my favourite corners of the world.
are you going to bring the bike and the couch home? cause that would be perfect. i like both. so ok now i'll actually read your blog. tell goob to use paragraphs too. i think she should be able to hear you from norway if you yodel loud enough
Nice whitewalls on your Muenster bike.
Dad
I NEED a Norway update... but I know internet is crazy expensive.
