We Made It Through a Day Without Buying Any Shoes

Honestly the title of this post may not be correct as Alex is currently is Oslo with her family and there is a good chance that she did indeed purchase shoes...Kiernan and I however are on a 12 step program;) hehe. Anyway..... the point is we are still having a wonderful time here in Norway. Today we ate breakfast at Sunniva's house and then headed to an outdoor market to look at locally produced Norwegian goods\crafts. It was extremely exciting...just think what you would normally pay for a rosemaled bowl, about 70 percent off of that price was what we were paying. I guess that means that those of you reading this blog will be expecting gifts???? After depleting our cash supply at the market we drove to the tops of some mountains to get some excellent 'Japenese' pictures (landscape\panorama). This car ride also supplied us with time to tell some hilarious stories about ourselves and bond even more deeply with our fabulous Norwegian hosts! Later in the day we attended a wedding in the church in Luster. It was very interesting and enjoyable. We noticed that Norwegians wear their wedding bands on the right hand instead of the left. When we all discussed this we discovered that they wear it on the right for the same reason as we wear it on the left...(the love line\being closest to the heart)...interesting;) The rest of our evening was very enjoyable as well, we not only ate far to much delicious food, we also had an opportunity to see where Brit, Sunniva and many of the other women in Luster and the surrounding areas work. All in all quite a fabulous day! Tomorrow we will be off to do more sight seeing in the Luster area...after a trip to an ATM.
