While picturesque and beautiful, I have been putting off my post to describe my overnight stay with a host family in Stavanger, for I could not for the life of me think of a single story of interest to hold your attention: dear readers. Thus, I have elected to just show you all pictures. Enjoy the flip book, kiddies.

The Canning museum! The highlight of my trip.
Jealous yet?
