| The weather was gray and depressing on this day and I was tired from 10 days of being a "power tourist" so I took it easy most of the day. I took a long walk around 3 PM and ended up getting to see the Archeology Museum and the King's house for free. No pictures of the archeology museum, I had hoped they would caption the displays in both English and Norwegian, but no luck. So unfortunately, I didn't get much out of it. | ||

| A beautiful cemetery down the road from my flat. | People plant actual plants in dirt here instead of bringing cut or fake flowers, it's very nice. | |

| Ledaal - King Harald's royal residence (when he's in town). Don't know what the other building is, I just liked the statues. | ||

| After work I took off back through Oltedal to do the hike I didn't have time for on Saturday. It's up to a waterfall called Monafossen. It was a nice trip. The waterfall was nice but to me the best part was the drive up to the area. A big tractor was broken down on the little skinny road up to the falls. The old farmer who was trying to fix it and I worked together to figure out how to get my car around the tractor. He didn't speak English but we laughed a lot and managed to get the car around. | ||

| These are just some pictures I took while I was on a walk in the neighborhood near my flat. I've been getting a lot of my exercise by walking, so that I exercise and sight-see at the same time. See, I'm already learning from the Norwegians! | ||
