Old Bergen and At-Home Gourmet

Had a nice fun day with everyone!

I went on a little road trip with Amanda, her mom, and her niece to the older part of Bergen (now it is a museum). It was raining on and off but luckily it was light plus we all had our rain equipment. We walked around the towns, went through some of the buildings, talked with the "locals (actors/actresses who played merchants, maids, family of a book keeper, and such)", and played a lot with the random things they had. They had a little playground set up with swings, a toy boat pond, swings, a tight rope, and some little shelters. Amanda, her niece and I took turns on the swing and helped each other on the tight rope (was too cold to play with the toy boats). We also took some silly pictures in the shelters :)

Later on, we found some... Wow, just had a brain fart. For now I will call them "walking sticks." Anyways, we had fun attempting to stand on them and trying to take a step with them. Eventually it turned into a pole vault jump contest. The joys of being silly.

After we finished walking around, we went to visit Amanda's grandparents while we were in the neighborhood. The adults didn't know a whole lot of English but they tried as best they could. I ended up playing with the niece since she was restless and the adults wanted to talk. She taught me some Norwegian, I taught her some English and Japanese, and we made funny faces and noises. Oh yes, we were very mature.

When we got back home, we watched a little TV. There was a Swedish movie about a young boy and girl who run away from home to live in a mountain fortress together. Had no idea what was being said but it looked pretty cool.

Amanda and I then went to her friend Mona's house for dinner along with their other friend Renathe (hopefully the spelling is right). Mona cooked us a stunning and very delicious meal (pictures will be posted on another page) and we had fun chatting about American TV shows like the Simpsons, How I Met Your Mother, and other random things that came up with we watched some TV. Mona then showed us her newly decorated room but then we got a bit cold so we went back upstairs and watched a bit of "Just Married."

It was a nice chill day :)
