This past weekend we experienced something that is very common and popular in Norway this time of year: cross-country skiing (langrenn).
Our friends invited us to a cabin for the weekend. It was a good time of getting to know each other better, relaxing, eating lots of good food, and skiing.
Okay, more falling than skiing. But either way, it's quite a workout!
We had fun, and I think the bug has bitten. We are working to get all four of us outfitted with skis so we can begin doing this on a regular basis.
And I have to say that if we are all still friends after the weekend, that's saying a lot about their patience! They were great teachers, and we are very appreciative of their hospitality and support. And when I say support, I mean that in multiple ways: from encouraging words and pointers, to getting us up and down hills - literally!
