17th of May

Last Saturday we celebrated the 17th of May, my first here in Norway. Although I must say I much prefer the way we celebrate our national day back home, it was interesting and funny to see how excited Norwegians get about getting dressed up in their very best clothes, marching around in a parade and shouting hip hip hurray non-stop! Half an hour before the parade started, the girls who were working in the kitchen suddenly decided they wanted to be in the parade too. They whipped around trying to get dinner ready so they could take a 30 minute break and represent the kitchen and Alag. I was happy to watch from the balcony and take pictures.

Hurray for Norway! Hurray for Alag! Hurray for the pink-shirt girls!
