I just heard on AlJazeera English & the BBC that Barack Obama has won the Nobel Peace Prize. Wow! I feel really proud. And he gets to go to Oslo. I love Oslo. Here's a picture of the Nobel Peace Center in Oslo (with my friend Katie in the foreground)t:
And a picture of a poster about civilians killed in Gaza over Christmas time 2008 and New Year's 2009:
And just because it is such a beautiful country, a few more pictures of Norway:
OSLO:
A troll in a mall in downtown Oslo (the Norwegians have great troll lore, and looking at the countryside, you can see why in Bergen pictures!):
And the amazing Vigeland Sculpture Park in Oslo, constructed in 1920s/1930s:
And finally a Viking Museum in Oslo, actually really cool (I was so inspired I bought a book "Queen Emma & the Vikings" by Harriet O'Brien, one of the most well-written books I have ever read):
Some pictures on a train from Oslo to Bergen, on the West Coast:
And a few from Bergen, Norway:
