Today’s office mate is very happy I am back from Denver.

I learned that it is National Bow Tie day today because my hotel is celebrating it with free mint julep’s.

It seems appropriate that National Dog Day occurs during the dog days of summer while we wait for the sweet relief of fall!

Celebrated being back in NS by going for my first bike ride in 2 years 😮

I really could have done without the 83% humidity though 🔥

Hugo is out like a light and comfortable at home marking the end of our summer travels.

There is no one that knows how to kill time in an airport quite like my wife.

Farewell to Oslo! 🇳🇴

Took the opportunity today to appreciate the Natural History museum.

Another city and another shiny metal object on the ground caught my eye. This one was less functional than the sewer lids, but does it’s job well.

She ventured inside the first phone box we encountered for a photo and happily described it as “smelling like urine”.

It’s about time someone recognized me and built me a park and square!

Spent a few days without internet over the weekend and used the time to make some new furry friends.

Brunch in Oslo

Went for a hike in Hove on Tromøya today

Today we visit Arendal

You may be able to take 7 eleven out of america, but it will be clearly american wherever it goes.

It’s important for Griffin’s to gather for a summer picnic when any of them are geographically close enough

It is really hard not to giggle when reading signs in another language.

First thing I noticed upon leaving the train station in Oslo.

The details were intriguing enough that I had to it up and found the story of Hallvard Vebjørnsson

Grabbed lunch and went for a walk in St. hanshaugen‘s park.
