Sunday July 14th ~ Horten, Norway

No time for rest when you have  busy days ahead of you...

Yesterday Arvid and I were invited to a birthday gathering
 which involved delicious food.  We were invited by Arvid's 
brother and his girlfriend for dinner at this very yummy
 Chinese Restaurant right here in town.  Also present were
 Vidar's kids and grandkids.  Those that were available. 
 Unfortunately, Siv's family could not make it.


Yesterday we visited a very good friend.  He and his wife
 live both in Norway and Florida.  In both places they have homes 
with amazing views.  This is the view from on of their homes
 in Norway.  The one in Florida also has a killer view.


 From their unit you see the entire harbor/marina.  And 
the view from the balcony depending on where
 you look, all stunning.  Just like this one.


We went to listen to music to a nearby town.  The place we 
were supposed to go to was packed so we ended up in a little pub 
right next to it.  Also happened to have their own music.  While the
 guys had drinks i had a few cafe lattes.  Here in Norway if you're going
 to drive you do not drink. I was the designated driver last  night 😜


Once back in Horten we took a little trip to the pub.
  Best raspberry Cosmo I have had.  The girl was fast 
unlike the previous night when they took fifteen
 minutes to make a mojito (different place).  


It was so delicious I finished mine before Arvid. 
 I think it was because back home in the US they do not 
measure the amount of liquor.  Here everything is measured and
 it tasted more fruity than liquor.  Some might actually prefer
 the more alcohol taste than the fruity one.  I was happy.


It's been a good time so far.  Today we plan to hopefully
 have a relaxing day without going anywhere.  It's wet 
and not so beautiful out there right now, but it promises
 to get better.  My Sniff is probably still asleep at home.


Embracing the chaos of my busy day...
