Velkommen hjem!

We have arrived in Columbia. The flight back was fairly painless until the JFK to Charlotte leg - which took forever. The Oslo and Helsinki airports really have their customs and check in systems down to a science. There isn't the uncontrolled chaos that seems to fill the busy US airports. Finnair was a terrific airline and I would recommend them to any one - very comfortable and friendly. The suitcases are getting unpacked and the slow acclamation back to reality. I know it was not as hot today as it has been, but wow, it caught us off guard. After being cold for the last two weeks our body chemistry couldn't quite regulate at first. Still feeling tired and looking forward to heading to bed very soon. I am excited to go to work tomorrow and sharing all of the wonders we saw. I will upload the Bergen pictures tomorrow.

As a man at the Oslo airport teased me - we have now seen more of Norway than many Norwegians. It has been in many ways life changing. Thank you so much for following along with me, it has been an amazing adventure I will never forget.

Klem fra Maria!!!
