Yes. They protest here too. The sign (I think) says "Stop the Islamization of Norway" 


The counter protest. Their signs say "Stop the hating of muslims" Most of these protesters were young


This one is for our dear friend L. Come visit us - there is a chocolate store full of these!


The view from our bedroom


At our first Julebord - Christmas dinner at Mr. Sunshine's office


So pretty!


We took our first train ride to Ergesund to a Christmas market. I was so excited. Unfortunately, it rained the whole time we were there (surprise, surprise) and we couldn't take a lot of pictures
