OSLO DAYS

 

Here I am studying hard in Norsk class. It only LOOKS like I'm sleeping.

Turns out the building we are staying in on Oscar Gate (street) was where Arne Treholt lived. He was the Norwegian diplomat that was convicted of spying for Russia. The Norwegians had him under surveillance and were listening in on him here in these flats. It's a very fashionable part of Oslo and quite close to the royal palace. We are enjoying our free time just strolling around the neighborhood taking pictures of the architecture,sketching, and dining out in the many cafés and coffee houses. Here's some more pics of our building and across the street.

 

Lots of interesting details on all the buildings. And these gorgeous buildings just go for blocks and blocks.
