Big Update from Norge

Hello world.

Travel to Stockholm was fairly uneventful. I flew from Minneapolis to Detroit, and from Detroit to Frankfurt without much happening. I arrived in Frankfurt on the 26th of December, and if you know anything about Germany, you know that they shut the place down for holidays. The day after Christmas, or the second day of Christmas to the Germans, qualifies as a holiday. Luckily, I knew about this ahead of time. I ate some Döner Kebab at a little shop, and ran around a very empty Frankfurt for a few hours before waiting around at the airport, and flying off to Sweden.

After arriving in Stockholm, I rushed to the Arlanda Express, which is the "high speed train" that goes from Stockholm's airport to the city of Stockholm. I pulled into the hotel around 9:30, met up with Lindsey, and we got all of our stuff situated. Our hotel was the Clarion Sign, which was a really nice hotel, that we got a fairl good deal on. It also came with free breakfast buffet every morning. We, however, had very very restricted internet access

Over the next week or so, we had tons of lindy hop classes (4 -5 hours / day), and tons of dancing at night.



The next leg of the trip was the train ride to Oslo. The Norwegian and Swedish country sides look pretty much just like Minnesota.

We're in the cheapest youth hostel in Oslo, and looking for something maybe a little better... Our room mates from last night were from the Czech Republic, and the ones that showed up today just happen to be from Duluth and Uptown. Funny coincidence, huh?

Pictures from Stockholm and Oslo will come soon!
