May 1st is Norway's labor day. Of course, the day means different things to different people. To some, it's a day to celebrate workers. To others, it's the day you start planting your garden, and to others, it's simply a day to relax. It also represents the start of something else, but that will wait until I have the best picture and story to explain it.
Friday was an amazingly warm day - not hot, but warm enough to go out in shorts and a T-shirt. I spent a few hours just walking around - it may not have been as much of a workout as going to the gym, but it was nice just the same. As you can see, I wasn't the only one who thought it was a nice day. This picture was taken by the theater, but other parks, Frognerparken especially, were quite crowded.
I have read your blog for a long time, and thank you for your patient replies. It's really a nice blog for a foreigner like me to learn some first-hand information from the perspective of an American about Norway. If you have a chance to visit the well-known fjords please don't forget to write a post on them.
Thanks! Eventually I'll get a chance to travel more outside of Oslo. There are a couple of trips I'm interested in taking this year with some friends, but I'm not sure if we'll actually get the chance yet. For now, hopefully you enjoy the new post I put up about Russ.
