More ramblings . . .

Oh and Morgan and I had Marzipan cake yesterday. It was so wonderful. Why do they use fondant in the US? Marzipan is so good!!! And the grocery stores are neat. These tiny little things have the best selection and freshest looking food with a tremendous variety. I was completely impressed. However; for a country that is focused on the environment, I found certain disconnects - Such as the amount of plastic used and then thrown away. Very few places recycle.

The Noble Peace center was neat with an interesting activity for kids. The street performers are lovely and very nice - for quiet statues. :) Oslo is just such an interesting place. I guess it is a lot like other large European cities. So much is modern squished into the ancient. Beautiful, but yet places are dirty and congested. The transportation system is amazing - totally punctual and comprehensive - Really impressive - even when some one drove into the side of the tram. The driver kept it pretty much on schedule.
Also, the city - other than night life - completely closes very early. By 8pm all of the shops are closed.
