The newest development

hi all

I am happy to say that Bjorn and I have finally begun traveling. We made it to Oslo today without incident and met up with a relative of his. She was busy with work so she pointed us down the street with the most sites to see while she finished some work that needed to be completed. We journeyed to the top of the ski jump near Oslo which offered an amazing view of the city and fjord on which it sits. Oslo is an amazing city, and one of my friends was quick to point out that it is the 10th most expensive city in the world, so we dont plan on spending too much time shopping in the city, sorry girls. Both Bjorn and i hope to get into the city pretty early again tomorrow and view many of the museums that are scattered all over. As the day wound down today, we decided to have some Norwegian ice cream boats. They were just a boat cone filled with ice cream and some strawberry in the middle. They were tasty but quite hard. This is where the next little snag happened. As Bjorn took his second bite of ice cream he managed to rip apart some nerd gear in his mouth, and by nerd gear i mean he had a permanent retainer cemented into his mouth in high school some time. As I sit and write this very message on his cousins computer, Bjorn is on his way to get some emergency work done on the retainer. Not being a surgery and pain lover, I decided to stay away from the dental office and read. I would maybe think about sleeping, but the sky wont get dark here for several many more hours even though it is already getting close to eight. I will let you all know how both Bjorn and his retainer are as soon as possible, until then adios.
