So I haven’t been posting at all lately. I’m not sure if that’s a function of stress or feeling like I have nothing interesting to say. Probably stress Between dissertating, the job market, and other projects school life is pretty stressful right now. It’s tough to take time out to relax. Steve & [...]

Now if I could only get him to be as goofy as I am ….

Henningsvaer Day 1
During our final week in Norway, Steve and I were lucky enough to be a part of “Qualitative Camp 2009″ It was a week long class/conference where we interacted with students from all over the globe. We had lectures from distinguished faculty and listened to other students’ research as well. We were able [...]

On the way to Henningsvaer!
The next set of posts will cover our very last week in Norway. We spent a week at this amazing island, Henningsvaer, which is part of the Lofoten Islands. It was just stunningly beautiful, and productive all at the same time!
We took the coastal steamer to the islands~ quite a long ride, but [...]

Fishing at Jan’s Cabin
I’ve been missing Norway a lot lately…. thinking about what a different way of life it is over there. So much more laid back, less stress, slower pace, more beauty. The sky is one of the things I miss the most. Truly, the sky & clouds in Bodo were the most beautiful I’ve ever seen.
These [...]

Steve & I both got “Norwegian” jackets, and he got me a pair of beautiful earrings that are silver with blue stones. They are suppose to look like the ocean. The highlight [...]

Glacier & Fjord Photos
After we left the saltstraumen, we drove a few hours south to see a glacier. Jan told us that we would go through this SUPER long tunnel & when we came out on the other end, we’d see the glacier. Now, I am not an expert, but it was tough for me to tell the [...]

Saltstraumen Photos
Steve & I took a driving trip about a month ago down to a glacier (2.5/3 hrs south of Bodo)… on our way, we stopped at the Saltstrumen. It is an area of water near bodo where the tides can be just unbelievable (whirl pools appear) during high tide. We were a bit late, but [...]

Pics from near our Apt
A few weeks ago, Steve & I had Jan’s car, which enabled us to drive up to a small mountain near our apartment complex. There is an overlook/parking lot so, we started at that point, and walked the trail the rest of the way up. It wasn’t too bad of a hike (not too steep). [...]

Time is running out
I can’t believe that we’ll be home LESS than one week today. This last week is just flying by~ as I knew it would. Qualitative camp has been fantastic. Not suprisingly it’s beautiful here~ and more importantly, we’ve had the opportunity to interact with students/scholars/researchers from ALL over the world. An event like this really [...]
