17 Mai (May) Independence day in Norway

                 Main street in Oslo, Norway, called Karl Johans gate, and you can see Kings palace. Beautiful isn't it? YES it is!


Ja, vi elsker dette landet, 
som det stiger frem, 
furet, værbitt over vannet, 
med de tusen hjem. 
Elsker, elsker det og tenker 
på vår far og mor 
og den saganatt som senker 
drømmer på vår jord. 


Translation:
Yes, we love this country
as it rises up,
wrinkled, weathered over the water,
With the thousand homes, 
Love it, love it and think
of our fathers and mothers
and the saga night that sends
dreams to our earth. 


That's how the beginning of the national song looks like. Just like 4th of July in the U.S., today is the day where everybody is celebrating with their families, friends and loved ones. The good food, the get-togethers and the parties. OF COURSE the weather could've been a lot better, 45F with 90% of rain ahead, but we're use to it, so it doesn't matter! VI SKAL HA DET GøYYYYYY ELLER HVA!!!!!
