WORDS FROM MY SISTER...
Arriving to Oslo 21 hours after departing Denver....three of the Weimer clan were reunited...in true Norge fashion. Since Leasa hadn't seen the sun for the last couple of days we decided to stroll the streets of Oslo...
...keeping in mind 21 hours of travel and not what most would consider sleep...we kept going with sugar (salty-sour licorice) and good 'ol coffee- Oslo was beautiful to fly in to. So green and lush. The people are very friendly and speak very good english...probably better than us at that point. Dad and I had to catch a bus to meet Leasa in the city center...after spending a few minutes trying to put money into a "parking" machine (luckily a nice man told us it would not get us a bus ticket) we found our bus and were on our way. After touring the city for a bit we came back to Leasa's dorm. Ate some food, met her collegues and made ourselves at home...

College life hasn't changed much...we seemed to fit right in-

After repacking our bags for our trip to Italia we were ready to lay claim to our floor mattresses and call it a night. 4:15 AM was going to come awfully early. Our bodies were tired but our spirits were high...Cinque Terre here we come.
