One night in Bergen- Blogging buddies

-
Bergen was AMAZING ...
what a fantastic city....
I only wish I hadn't spent then entire day in meetings...  
I also wish I hadn't booked my return flight so early the next day.
After our day long meeting, our boss planned dinner for us on top of the Fløibanen.

We took the Funicular up to the..
Fløien Folkerestaurant
Delicious food.. & great service (Roberto) ...   oh yes & the wine... :-)


We were running a couple of hours behind... so I was worried  about not being able to FINALLY  meet Megan from "A Suitcase and Stilettos"
But Meghan was a trooper and waited for me. 
We thought we would grab a "quick drink"
- I had to be up by 5:00 am to get to the airport...

HA... well one drink led to another.. & the conversation just flowed...
Why do I always try to kid myself.. saying I will call it an early evening?
I knew it wouldn't be... Of course we talked for hours...


We met a nice American family who took these pictures for us...  the ladies sister lives in my home town Kingwood,Texas & I believed they were from Richmond,VA  Megans home town... (what a small little world)

We talked & talked & talked... when we finally decided to call it a night...  Megan walked back with me to the hotel... yes I am still gimpy with the broken toe...  
As we said our goodbyes.. :-( we asked the desk clerk to double check her bus schedule ...
 just to be sure..

Next bus... 6 am....  LOL...  I thought all night buses in Norway were too good to be true...
& they were.
Of course Megan crashed with me & we had an impromptu sleepover..

While I don't advocate sleeping with people you pick up off the internet...  ( -:  
this worked out well & I will call her again... lol
Hoping Megan will make it to my side of the country
so I can introduce her to the rest of my bloggy buddies.




Hope you all have a fabulous weekend! xx

Ohhhh, I love Bergen so much! We stayed at the Clarion Admiral a few weeks back, and from my big comfy bed, I could see the entire harbor and the flobanen all the way to the top.

Sounds like you had a great time!!

Hey you... hungry butt!

Hey you, Hungry butt!!!! .... First thought that played through my mind as I stood behind the woman in the GREY SWEATPANTS in line at the post office..... Hungry Butt is what my little sister & her friends say when referring to what in my day, was called a WEDGIE ..... "Hungry Butt" just fit the large bottom , which was gobbling its underwear in front of me.... Ugh.... the sight of her butt was burning into my mind as I waited in the ridiculously SLOW line at the post office.... No longer able to stand the site... I put my boxes down... and did the neighborly thing.... I pulled her underwear out of her butt.... You should have seen the SHOCK & SURPRISE on her face ... Ummm , OK I didn't do that... I tapped her on her shoulder & in my best AMERICAN accent announced to her & the rest of the post office... that she had the picture perfect HUNGRY BUTT... cause it was gobbling everything in sight... K... I didn't do that either... I just stood...

A visit to the ICE AGE....

Sunday... FUN-DAY, Another family day..... Because we had such nice weather, (never knowing how long it will last) we decided to take another family hike.... (2.5 hours....) around the be ach. It is funny, each week, each hike, I see changes in our family....less whining (on my part) & more time learning, enjoying our time together....Bjørn who usually gets irritated with all of my picture taking, is stopping to find things to take pictures of...appreciating colors, nature etc. Dane is less squeamish...touching & picking up all of sorts of things he finds along the hike.... Today we learned about Jettegryter or "Stone Pots" these huge rock formations from the ICE AGE .... pretty cool... these holes are formed by pebbles/gravel being aggitated by water, over thousand of years.... WOW..The holes on our local beach date back to 15,000 years.... the kids had a blast.... & wanted to stay much long...
