Another day of rain . . .

And so it continues. I am down to only one pair of dry shoes and one dry jacket after walking the city today. I covered most of the downtown area and part of the residential area across the fjord.

At noon today I went to Grieghallen for the Bergen Orchestra's Summer Concert. It was really good. They had two guest soloists, one from Paris and one from South Korea. It was well worth the money. I also had some really good Fiskesuppe today for lunch. It's a thick fish stock with shrimp, fishballs, and veggies.

Most places will be closed on Sunday, so not much to do. I will spend the morning at the hostel (to stay dry, let my feet rest and replan parts of my trip that aren't going to work out). I'm going to go to the Royal Norwegian Military Band's concert in the afternoon. Supper is free at the hostel tomorrow night - waffles with jam and side item. Like my own little IHOP.

I'm on the hunt for lefse. Who would have thought you couldn't find it here? They have some nasty cardboard-like packaged stuff in the store, but I can't find a bakery that has the real thing.

Still no way to get photos posted. I'm hoping that the hostel on Monday night in Voss will have a computer I can post on. If not, I'll figure something out.

Later - Eric

. . . and just because I have a keyboard that can . . . æ Æ å Å ä ø Ø
