Our day in the City Trondheim. Folkehøgskole day, or something. Apparently there were 'all' the Folkehøgskoles from the area attending this 'event'. I may have seen one other school. But there I go not starting at the beginning.
We woke up about 9, and hop off the boat into the center of town. I love that. The rest of the school is just unloading the cars as we walk up, somehow that worked out, and we start setting up camp. We have half a block along the Walking-Street to setup banners and booths and other assorted Lets Show off the School type stuff, including pancakes. Which is kinda odd, we give out pancakes to entice the public into talking with somebody and learning about the school. What was really different was the open fire we cooked them on. Camp fire. No stove, just a large metal disk with firewood on it, on fire. Kinda cool. And nice and warm in the below freezing weather, it really helped to huddle around when you weren't playing games.
One of the events we were to attend is singing. I, and several others, opt instead for Burger King. 15 bucks later I had my lunch, and it's not really different then US Burger Kings, just more expensive.
The boat drive back to Trondheim was fantastic. Sitting on the deck of the boat in the cold wind discussing societal differences between Norway and the US. Good times. Leaving a city by boat at night is the best way to go, watching the lights fade away into the darkness behind is an amazing sight. Posted by byron at December 07, 2002 08:36 AM
