Aloha Everyone,
Happy Father’s Day! Our first port of call in Norway, Stavanger is absolutely beautiful! Having traveled from California and England J.J. and I are impressed that there is no litter on streets.
Perfect walking weather for our first port in Norway, the two of us walked towards the town square. At the Sunday open air market, I bought an Alpaca hat. The vendors were from Pakistan, Peru and China all working together selling locally produced goods. I wondered whether the businesses are owned by Norwegians.
Last night’s dinner tablemates were another representation of the United Nations. We had a history professor affiliated with UNH (University of New Hampshire) and his wife. A Sociologist from Australia who volunteers for the state medical research team and his wife. The last couple were most interesting. The husband, originally from India works in IT. His wife is from Serbia working as a CPA. They have two daughters, 4 & 6. Her family lives in Serbia where the wife spends time visiting while her husband attends meetings in UK. Our guess is that they are in their late 30’s to early 40’s as they’re fit and enjoy extreme physical activities such as hiking, climbing and paragliding.
J.J. and I were astonished when they each ordered and consumed 4 desserts.
Aloha -- Cathi
