Normal life in Norway

We've been working a lot lately. It's been 9-10 hour days and that will probably be the norm until we leave. We leave for work around 7:15 and take turns driving. We work all morning and then eat lunch around 11:30. Then we work quietly or work with the Norway people until around 3:30. That's when the Houston people get in and when the Norwegians go home. At that point the emails and phone calls start. This goes on until 5:00 or later. Good times.

Except today we left on time. I did a 13.1 mile run because we left earlier enough, the weather was good, and we may not be here on Saturday. I ran to Stokkavatnet, which I'd been trying to find for awhile. Here's my observations about the lake. You will find there:

• A wide gravel running path
• Meadows with cows and sheep
• Small stone sheds built into the hills
• A golf course
• Angry swans
• Hills
• Lots of trees
• A very scenic lake
• Plenty of Norwegians

It's a nice place. I will definitely be using it again.
