uke åtte (8)

This past week I spent in Lofoten... A group of islands in northern norway, above the arctic circle. It was suprisingly warm, about 6 or 7 degrees (c of course) and we had great weather. The first day we flew to a city called bodø and then took a ferry for six hours from bodø to svolvær, where we spent the majority of our trip. In Svolvær, we played concerts at a church, a mall, and at a few schools. The second day that we were on our trip, we climbed a mountain in Svolvær, one of the smaller ones, but still, it took over 2 hours to go up, and over 2 hours to go down. The views from the top were absolutely beautiful, the most stunning i have ever seen in my entire life. Clear blue skies, enless islands, small towns, more mountains. AMAZING! I have some pictures that I'll post up sometime, but not until my computer is working again. Anyways, the third day we played with the local cultural school in a concert and at mall. It was pretty fun, except for the homesickness that came that day, which was accompanied by horrible headaches and stomachaches. but that has passed now, at least mostly. The final day we woke up at 5:15 to take a 6 hour speedboat ride from Svolvær to Bodø. Unfortunately, the sea was reallllly rough that day, so everyone but me and 2 others from the group were seasick, the whole time. I nearly died, because I cannot stand people throwing up. But Ieveryone survived and now the world continues on, all happy. And now Im back at home for the rest of høst ferie (fall break), although i have to work at a farm tomorrow and friday... goodie. =) And only a few more days until I get to see my friends again when they get back from their vacations!!! (Tristan and others, specifically) Well, jeg skal dusje nå. =)
