Man, I slept well last night, let me tell you. We landed in Trondheim around 10:40, and Jackson’s super wonderful roommate Yannick picked us up so we wouldn’t have to use nighttime public transit. What a champ! And seriously, because it was about a 45 minute drive. I slept most of the way. And then I brushed my teeth and didn’t wake up until eleven when Jackson got back from a morning full of classes and group presentations. Oops.

Okay, let’s go backwards. I haven’t seen much of Trondheim yet because of my sleepiness and the raininess of the outdoors. Pretty much all I accomplished today was a shower, grocery shopping, cooking, eating, reading, and this blog. (BTWs: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is a fantastic quick read, but very thought-provoking and funny. Highly recommend. Started on the plane to Paris and finished on the plane back to Copenhagen!)

Highlights of Paris: the sun, the food, the art- in that order.

It was deliciously warm and bright the whole time we were there, but we didn’t really take advantage of it the first day, unfortunately. Instead, we spent seven and a half hours in the Louvre. SEVEN AND A HALF. We woke up around sunrise, found a perfectly posh bakery and bought an entire loaf of chocolate chip bread cake, metro-ed over to the Louvre, and locked ourselves inside until sunset. Which is a bummer, because the sunset was so stinking gorgeous and it would have made for an excellent photo by the Eiffel, but our tired little legs didn’t make it. By the time we reached the Tower, the sun was gone (as is pictured in the main photo). Kind of regret spending so much time there, because we were so tired by the end of it that we weren’t really enjoying it anymore, but oh well! We made up for it later.

Okay, I feel like I should accompany the rest of my stories with photographs, but I have forgotten my WordPress password, so I’ll need to hold off until I can remember again. I’ll try it out again tomorrow, hopefully after some Trondheim adventures!

Until then,

I’m surprised it’s only raining in Trondheim when we’re getting snow in the lower passes already. One weekend in Paris and all spent in one museum?!? Did you guys see any of France outside Paris?
BTW, that’s a gorgeous shot of the Eiffel Tower
