Attack from a bee!

Okay well, I didn't exactly get attacked by a bee, but it wanted to! I could sense his hostility, you know. It flew in through my window just after I closed the curtains. It was the scariest looking thing I've ever seen, even though it was only 1 inch long. (That's still a pretty big bee if you ask me! Maybe it was one and a half inches.)

Weather Update

Well, the snow I talked about in the last post melted by that afternoon and I'm happy to inform you that Norway has officially entered the "warm" weather season. It was a blistering 51 degrees out today and I went to the store with sandals and a short sleeve shirt. I must really be accustomed to the cold weather because at home when it hits 65 degrees, I'm bundling up like its gonna snow. Going back to California will probably mess up my system now, whenever I hear its 50 out, I'm going to think its t-shirt and sandals weather. But knowing me I'll adjust to the 90 degree heat quickly and never want it to get any lower than that.

I Got My Hopes Up Too Soon

Leaves are finally starting to come back on the trees and I thought that I had seen the last reminants of winter, which to be honest I was getting a little tired of it being cold all the time...and then this happened: It's the 12th of April and I wake up to it snowing outside! Snowing! In the middle of April. It's 80 degrees at home and its snowing in Norway. Who would have ever thought? I know in previous posts I explained how much I like the snow, well I guess my true colors have finally shown...I'm all Californian! I like the idea of their being snow, but I like it even better if I can just visit it whenever I want to.

Carcassonne and Dachau

Carcassonne is a city in the south of France, but it is also a Medieval City one mile from the train station. The Medieval City is a walled fortified town occupied from as early as 6th century B.C. Within the city walls besides the castle there are also several streets with restaurants, shops and hotels. Nowadays it is more of a tourist village than anything else because of all the tourist shops you can find there.
