Norway

I had absolutely no intention of going to Norway when I came to Europe, but I am so glad that I tagged along with the other Americans.  From the moment we left Marburg to the moment we got back, it was nothing but laughs and adventures.  It was alot of traveling (one hour train ride to Franfurt, 2 hour bus ride to the airport, 2 hour flight to Oslo, Norway, 2 hour bus ride to where we wanted to go, 30 minute walk to our hotel) but I would do it all over again next weekend.  Everyone in Norway was nice and more importantly everyone spoke English very, very well. 
The Royal Palace-our hotel was about 400 yards away from it!

A view from the port

Andrew, Adam (the retard), ME, Marilyn, Kate...Kat was also with us.  She is a goth chick, but surprisingly cool

Currywurst- the hottest in Germany!!!

 Everyone digging in...and regretting it immediatly!
    
Abdul, Pascal, Jon, Ahmed, Adam (although adam looks like a retard, I assure you he is not)
When we walked up to this place, I was very surprised at what it looked like.  You can see from the picture above that it is just a little shack, but the line went on for days.  It was like waiting in line at Disney World!  It was a fun experience, but I will never eat anything that hot again. (or at least until I forget how painful this experience was)

Doing okay!!!

Things are still going pretty well.  Classes are starting to pick up, so I have been at my desk alot more.  Its starting to get pretty cold at night..bummer.  I am taking boxing classes on Monday and Thursdays, Taekwondo on Tuesdays, and Volleyball on Wednesdays.  Today is the first day of full contact at boxing, so I am going to get my shit kicked in!  I went to the zoo in Frankfurt last weekend...

I made 2 new friends
