Bergen





Alex and I are spending the next 6 days in Norway and Sweden. We started today in Bergen, the largest city on the western side of Norway. It is over one thousand years old and served as a center for the vikings and also the Hanseatic league. It was rainy and cold, but unbelievably beautiful. I will be able to tell more about it in future posts, but for now wanted to at least share a few photos.

Do you feel this innate desire to pillage? Plunder? Burn things?

Love the sunset. And I have been to a city, other side of the north sea, similar age and it looks remarkably like photo number three. Amazing that you are there are we are here. Love you.

Thanks guys! Adam--we hit up Stockholm after Oslo, which was really an incredible city. They don't call it the Paris of the north for nothing. Back in London now for LSE orientation.
