Here I am again. We have been busy - David at work, and me walking all over town. It takes a while to get anywhere as I keep walking into interesting shops, practicing my 'nei takk' (no thanks) whenever I am asked if I need help. I can't understand when being asked if I need help, but I do know the answer. I think that if I respond to 'Hei!' (or hi! to us) with 'Hello' it would signal that I speak English. I have only been successful once so far in getting through an entire transaction at the grocery store without resorting to English. At least I was prepared for what would be said to me and I could respond appropriately (they always ask if you want a bag for which you are charged). Although it occurred to me afterwards that I didn't actually say anything - just shook my head at the appropriate time.
We have tickets to see the Indiana Jones movie tonight. We are going to the Collisseum which is a huge theater. All seats are reserved like going to a play and we bought our tickets online. Maybe we will learn a little Norwegian from the subtitles...
Well, I am off this afternoon to visit some craft shops that my friend and fellow glass artist Annemarie showed me. It is cloudy and gray and cool, but not raining - yet. That will come tomorrow, I think.

How about posting one or 2 pix on your blog too? Takes too long for us to see your picasa photos since we only have dial-up at home.
Tonight is the Go Green reception. I'll try to take some photos.
jaye, enjoyed the blog and the photos. keep them coming.
Hi Jayebird!
The Go Green reception was fun. There was quite a variety of work. It was fun! I made some photos which I may post or try to send later. We went to San Miguels for margaritas afterwards with some folks. I'm writing a more detailed letter which I will send.
Keep those "blog comments" coming!
Bye for now
