WHAT WE ARE UP
TO:
the fish returneth. Well, I survived
the freezing french weather in Avignon and Paris, survived
being held-up by a Barcelona junkie with a hypodermic needle,
survived Pj's attempts to choke me---and for all of it, I
think I am a better man. It is mighty mighty nice being back
home. Special thanks must go out to Evans and Fam, who pulled
a perfect stranger off the Paris streets and into their home.
Peace to all.

WHAT WE ARE UP
TO:
wow. its been a long haul. but ive
made it, im home now. i took a night train from flornece to
paris and flew from paris to detriot then onto minneapolis.
met this french dude on the train from florence to paris who
would not stop talking to me.. .and the crazy thing was, he
spoke no english, i speak no french, but this didnt stop him.
he was getting all excited. couldnt shut the guy up!~ i just
wanted to sleep. got to paris at 9am. i had no idea where
to go, and had no franks, i wasnt about to hit the atm just
for a metro ride, so i set down my bag and begged for money...
then god sent down a little angel. this girl came up to me,
and asked if i needed help, if i was okay. she took me to
the airport herself.. i would never have found the way. thanks
liz! met up with peter at the airport. exchanged stories...
mine where better. i looked at peter, i said lets go home
peter, lets go home. we hopped on the plane and started are
full day jouney home. our parents were at the airport waiting
for us. we are all home now, the whole family. and it is good.
my mother and one of my sisters cooked a yummy meal. and it
was good. my room! clean and warm. and only mine... the bathroom
and showers! i took so much for granted! i appreciate everything.
im about ready to go appreciate my bed right now. so this
is it. feel free to add your email address still, i will still
be sending out mailings whenever i update the euro-page. (..
when i add more pictures ect.) it will take a bit for any
to go up. im tired and i have many projects i am working on...
anyhow. this trip was great. i really could not have had it
better. i met some really great people.. stayed at some really
great places, saw so much... me and peter came out alive and
not hating eachother.. we have never spent more than a week
side-by-side, we both had no idea how we would do our 2 and
half month trip together. bit of advise. before you marry
your girlfriend/boyfriend, take her/him on a two month trip.
if it works marry. you two will be able to make it through
anything... i truely believe this. thanks everyone who put
us up! who fed us! who loved us! thanks friends and family
for following along on me and my bro's journey. thanks for
the emails and bits of advise. euro-2001 pj, signing off (merry
christmas!)

WHAT WE ARE UP
TO:
Peter the fish is going strong in
B-town. Barthelona, as the locals call it, is a nice, cosmopolitan,
international, up and coming city. It´´s definitely a city
of the present, in contrast to old old towns like Rome and
Athens, that exist in the present as monuments to their own
pasts. There are an awful lot of homeless folk, shady moroccans,
junkies and gitano circus types--all who tend to get in your
face. The people here speak Catalan, and Spanish is a second
language, so all the street signs look funny. But I have been
using my spanish like crazy, and that´´s a lot of fun. Everyone
is really helpful and friendly. I asked a lady in the supermarket
a simple question yesterday, and she ended up taking me on
a tour of the city. Did you know you can buy beer here at
Macdonald´´s?

in rome still. leaving tomorrow,not
quite sure where,mostlikely florence. andfrom there to paris.
i fly out on the 21st. so 4 more days. havent heard from my
bro at all... hope all is well. yesterday i tried to find
the mouth of truth... couldnt find it... its a scultpure,
you stick your hand in the mouth and someone asks you a question,
and if you lie, it bites off your hand. there is so much to
see here! they are trying to add to their two line underground,but
everywhere they dig, they have to stop because they keep running
into old ruins. its very sunny today. very chilly too. xmas
decorations are going up everywhere... doesnt really seem
like xmas though.

breather. im going to go try and find the mouth of truth today...
you put your hand in the statues mouth and someone asks you
a question, if you lie it will bite your arm off. im not sure
what im going to do till the 21st. its not much time... slowely
make my way north i suppose. jason and his brother nathan
may be coming with me... that rain cloud followed us to rome
to... but the day peter left, the weather cleared up and the
sun came out. it was him all along. today i am beat! starting
to get sick. the last 4 nights i have gotten so little sleep...

WHAT WE ARE UP
TO:
took a trian from catania, to rome.
11 hours. it was a beautiful train ride.. right along the
toe and up, moutains everwhere, the ocean, blue and green...
little town, orange trees everywhere. i really wanted to stay
at least one day in rome... i would love to chill a little
longer, but pete really wants to move (story of this trip).
but i have already seen rome, so, i can understand. but there
is so much. its by far one of my favorite cities... so last
night. we get here around 10pm.. and head striaght for the
hotel de artistes, a place i stayed two years ago and remember
it being cheap and fun... it had changed... was expensive
and looked kinda poopy. so we took of, walked out on the street,
all of a sudden this kid goes scootin by on a skateboard...
and its jason baerh.. i guy i worked with all summer long!
here in rome! at 10:40pm... this city is so big you couldnt
plane to meet someone if you tried. it just makes you think...
think how many people you know, but just miss eachothers paths...
by seconds.. peter bumped into a guy that he had met on his
last trip here in rome a year ago. today there was a protest
going on. soo many people, ivenever seen so many young people
in one area.. me and peter tried crossing, and right when
we did, they charged... just all started running... like a
pack of wild horses! and so we statrted to run to the other
side of the road, to get out of the way... but it was too
late for me... i was in the middle. i kept on going.. knocking
people over, i looked back and they were just getting trampled
over and over.. it was insane. we saw he trevi fountain, the
birthday cake, (holly roman forum, it was closed, so just
from the outside, id already seen it.. so) spanish steps.
saw lots today, lots of which we had no idea what it was..
we walked and walked... we are staying at the yellow hostel.
trying to figure out how to get to barcelona tomorrow... from
barcelona to paris, and home. the euro-2001-trip-of-love-hour-glass
is running out... but not yet fool! shnizza

WHAT WE ARE UP
TO:
our room me and peter are staying
in is soo cold. last night we could see our breath when we
went to bed. he has come. mr.sun is here. peter went to some
small village today, left me alone. what is a boy to do but
play in the sun. tomorrow we will leave to the mainland. we.ve
met some fun locals who have been kind enough to show us around.
fo shizza. you pay people here to watch your car...ifyou have
a nice one, if you do not pay them to watch it, they themselves
will key your car. so really you pay them to not scratch your
car. theyàve been having us try all the foods here.. from
my-little-poney, to deep fried egglookingthings.. ive noticed
that all the americans ive met or overheard us the F word
tons! the people we met here were very surprised that we never
used it... its peoples lack of a good vocabulary... its a
brainless filler word. me and peter are going to spain. the
sun is out and i must play. goodday...

WHAT WE ARE UP
TO:
met some Sicilians here at the hostel
last night, and they took us around town last night and brought
us to an "authentic" Sicilian resturant today, where i had
the pleasure of dining on cooked horsemeat--a dish peculiar
to the island. It was mighty good! I dont think i will ever
be able to ride a horse again without salivating a little.
Perhaps pony is especially tender... This is the land of ten
trillion scooters, theyre everywhere, alng with these tiny
three wheeled pick up trucks called "apes". Another novel
peculuarity here in Sicily is the kissing. It is polite, upon
meeting or leaving a friend to kiss them on both cheeks--and
it doesnt matter if they are male or female, which has taken
some getting used to. There certainly isnt the same Northern
concept of personal space, which I think is just fine. Weather
has been unremitting in its poopyness. ciao, ---the fish.

WHAT WE ARE UP
TO:
the rain has followed us here from
crete. peter is not happy about that. hes not happy about
his feet always being wet... either am i. they are stinky
feet. we want sun... cold sun is fine... just some sun. peter
lost his rain jacket on the train.. or i should say forgot
it on the train in greece, so thats no fun for him. we are
in catania, and the rain has subsided for the timebeing...
still overcast. we are at the agorahostel. right by the train
tracks.. ever 10 minutes you are reminded that you are right
by the train tracks. me and peter had a good time in syracuse
in spite of the rain... we met some fun locals... went to
dr. sams and peter pan. everyone, everyoone we talk to wants
to come and live in america, its getting old... they have
these false dreams... theyàve been watching too much mtv or
american movies... i dont know. we are midway between syracuse
and port town messina... we want to go see mt. etna, an active
volcano here on sicily, weather permitting... if mr.rain is
here tomorrow we will head to naples.. we dont know... well.
hello my little valary... where-ever you are.. pj

WHAT WE ARE UP
TO:
yo. sicilia is good. im getting by
fine with words I learned from the Godfather movies and a
few spanish words thrown in. Disapointed with mafia for giving
us no welcome whatsoever. Gonna send em a message... The food,
wine, and weather--all of which are represented by classical
dieties, and for good reason--are unsurpassed in our travels
thus far. Greece was a bummer, poo weather and a well worn
tourist infrastructure that kept out anything exciting or
unexpected. Especially after wild romania. But had the weather
been nice we probably would have loved it. One thing I forgot
to mention: Chauga dancing in Bulgaria. Remind me to tell
you about it when I get back.

a short ferry across.. to messina, on sicily. stayed the night...

seen much of it yet. nice old town.. warm weather... sunny
off and on... the wine is very yummy. (dont worry mother..
in moderation) the noodles are good too... i dont think many
big blond-viking tourists venture out where we are.. it doesnt
seem that way by the stares me and peter have been recieving....
from young and old...ÈÈ turns out we are flying out of paris

sick. laying in bed was fine though... very calming actually...
fell right asleep only to be woken by a fat man who snored
louder than thunder... i tried barking at him and yelling.
didnt work.so, peter hit him with a pillow throught the night
to shut him up...fat people should be made to sleep on their
tummies!!! ohh loardy im a reck today. on to our way to bari,

in some town, on some island, somewhere
in greece. its raining again. yesterday me and peter went
to the beach and watched the waves. it was amazing!! going
right over the breakwall, into the parking lot. cars were
underwater upto their roofs. i guess a couple got swept out.
the gusts of wind were soo strong. we are planning on leaving
tomorrow, but in order to leave the sea has to be calm. i
talked to someone, he told me that the ship we came on was
the 'small one'. he said the other has 5 pools, 4 bars, 3
discos... scary! mom, i have little itchy bumps on me, are
they bedbugs? write me quick. if im still around to read the

WHAT WE ARE UP
TO:
another bleary day in Crete. Here
we are in the very southernmost point of Europe, and we are
hit with rain and cold windy weather. The locals are begining
to suspect we are to blame, and we may soon be sacrificed
to zeus for appeasment. The Greeks are the most accustomed
to tourists and probably for this, the most unfriendly of
all the countries we've past through. They are also the heftiest
people we've seen since we left the States. The weatehr has
brought some rough seas, though. Yesterday we watched huge
waves pounding against the breakwall, flooding the areas surrounding
the harbor and seriously punishing some of the structures
and cars there. Sadly, they were unsurfable, since the high
winds blew off the crests before they could stack up. pj nd
I have been making the best of it though---saw Harry Potter
amidst a sea of chattering greek children yesterday. Special
shot out to Radislava and her mom. You were excedingly hospitable
and I greatly appreciate all the great Bulgarian food and
all the time you took off from scholl for us Rady. Shots must
also go out to UltraAlex the Smooth Sofian and his sidekick
DeviousDez. Hope all is well back in Sof. Well, pj keeps calling
me dirty and I suppose he's right. But not for long. Today
I took all I have to the loundrymat, including my last pair
of socks and chonies. Feeling mighty free as I write here.

WHAT WE ARE UP
TO:
hello. we are in greece, as far south
as you can go, and its still kinda cold!! we are on the western
side of crete. we are staying in a little village.. we have
a nice pension, cheap, clean, really friendly, moped rentals
close by, internet closeby, markets everywhere. the toilets
are odd, squatters, just holes, toilet paper goes into a basket...
kinda primal. me and peter are beat@@@ we left thessaloniki,
took a train to athens(tried to, we got kicked off for some
reason in some small town, they booted us right off because
we wouldnt pay them $30 (scam!!) (we had our interrail passes,
they said they were no good... grrrr) so we arrived in athens
at 7pm, took the metro to peasa, and a ship, a big old ship,
was leaving to crete at 8, we made it by 5 minutes... the
boat was mongo, pool, two resturants, a disco dance floor,
bars bars bars... we got a cabin and slept like babies...
until 6am, (ten hour trip) we arrived and were woken by the
staff... we then went to the airport to check on flights...
to italy, but no luck. so we took a bus to here, rymothiskos,
i dont know the name... we are tired, but we did it... peter
only gets mean when hes hungary, so i brought some candy bars
with me, when he started getting snippy, i unwrapped one and
threw it to him, he ate it like a jungle-cat, and he was happy.
if only it was that easy with me. hes happy, im happy, we
are in crete. pj

ever 15 minutes it seemed. ohh! me and peter got virtually
no sleep. we got in at 7:30am. finally some warmth. no more
snow. we are going to leave tomorrow, head south, to a smaller,
warmer town. this is the second biggest city, after athens.
a funny little tidbit: the other night.. i guess i got up
out of my bed (this is all according to peter) and got in
his... and started rubbing his butt!!! can you believe that!?
then peter yelled at me, told me to go back to my own bed.
and i made some gunt noise and left. yikes! im scared to sleep
now. this trip has been bonding, that is for sure. [thanks

almost got stuck in Rila, where the
famous Rila monastary has been tucked between the mountains
for almost a millenium. Rady went with me and we almost had
to spend the night there when we missed the bus--butr we were
able to hitch a ride back into town with a nice middle aged
bularian couple. Came back to Rady's house, and her mom fed
us another outrageous Bulgarian meal, with delcious shopska
salad and bulgarian wieners and lots of rakia--a heated brandy
with honey. We are quite the novelty for Danka--rady's mom--since
we are the first americans she has ever met. Sofia is lovely--the
highest capital in Europe. You can see majestic mountians
all around. But it is cold, so tonight we take a night train
to Thessolonika, Greece. Warm weather!

left brasov for bucharest, we had
to kill 5 hours until our train left. so we walked around.
my gosh! very sad.. so many homeless,. shoeless, little kids
all together huffing glue and paint. dogs are wild, roaming
the streets everywhere. drunks, herion eyes, people pissing
all over, everything smelly and filthy. this was the train
station, and train stations tend to be the worst... so...
but still. so we took the train to sofia, bulgaria, a nice
train, so we got a sleeper car, which worked out great...
i fell right asleep around 12, and the conductor woke us up
at 6am when our train arrived. it was clean, warm, cozy...
the bathrooms were getto... as usual. when mwe got off the
train, we were the last... we kept on falling back asleep
after the conductor would wake us... there was a little lady
holding a sign, "piater a pol", it tuned out that our bulgarian
friend, rady, had called and made arrangments for us, bless
her little heart (mom). the next day she showed me and peter
around, the old churches and buildings... parliment.... shops,
markets... she made us breakfast too. yum yum. (alex, hello)
tomorrow we leave for greece, peter says.

we saw these two gypsies singing
yesterday, and this gaurd just ran over and kicked the little

having fun, then they see us and pretend to cry... one grabbed
on to peters leg as we walked... wouldnt let go. lots of time
when we are bothered we pretend not to know english, and me
and peter will speak crazytalk back and forth... laugh a little,
a litte more crazytalk and walk away. the other day this guy
in the streets wanted us to give money to him for some kind
of homeless shelter... there were lots of them.. asking people
to donate money... me and peter said we would be in town for
a couple more days, and maybe then... anyhow, the next day
a girl from the same group comes up to us and askes us...
me and peter pretend not to know any english... she keeps
on trying... and me and peter keep on pretending not to understand
a thing shes saying... all of a sudden there is the guy...
he just starts yelling, liar, liar! oh we felt dumb... but
it was pretty funny. we leave for bucharest in a couple hours
(im at the train station killing time). sorry if this entry

food, but no money. were are these kids parents. we leave
the 25th for some small town in romania, we havent chosen

they play house/m-s-m-s-m-s-m-s... its getting old... just
ask pete. we arrived at 4am... venders constantly knocking
on our train door, trying to sell us boots, cds, anything
you name it... i made the mistake of opening the door the
first time, and the person would not leave... we had to go
grab another car. i learned my lesson. we might go downhill
skiing tomorrow. the money is so inflated, it costs thousands
of lie to buy a pack of gum. so i have wads and wads of money
in my pocket, i feel rich, but really its just a few usds.
me and peter are getting along well.. this trip is going great.
when the 23rd does roll around, i will be ready. breakfast,
normal toilets, phones i know how to use, internet that i
can use whenever... and clean bathtubs... driving... my car.
my clothes... ive been wearing the same pants, unwashed for
a month and a week or so... they are starting to feel very
weird on my legs... i think they are starting to rott. today
is thanksgiving... so tonight me and the brother will feast,
like we do everynight... but tonight.. .maybe a little more.
drinks on me brother. TO THE TURKEY!!!! pj and the droogs

WHAT WE ARE UP
TO:
translyvania is at a pretty high
altitude, so we climbed off the train at 4 this morning to
find snow everywhere. it looks lovely on the rooftops and
the surrounding mountains, giving the city the feel of the
holidays. translyvania does have the dark and brooding dracula
feel to it. its all mountains and castles and dark haired
people who speak english with an accent amusingly similar
to that of the Count of sesame street. This is also the cheapest
country we have visited yet. I almost feel a little guilty.
Educational tidbit: Dracula means "son of the dragon" and
was a semi historical personage. Bram Stoker's creation was
based on a figure from the 15th century named vlad the impaler
who discouraged the ottoman advance by his inclination to
impale turkish p.o.w.s, sometimes impaling handfuls during
feasts at his castle for sport. he did not, as far as we know,
dine on plasma or sleep in a coffin or turn into a bat.

me and peter had a great time in budapest... saw so much,
met lots of fun people while staying at the yellow sub. (there
WAS a reason behind naming it just that... the bathrooms,
need i say more..) i went caving with some others from the
hostel... it was really fun. we had big jumpsuits on.. helmets,
all of us way underground.. geting dirty... i got stuck while
trying to go through 'winnie the pooh', it was this crazy
small hole i thought id try to fit through for fun, i got
stuck... it hurt so bad, but i made it through... i looked
at the hole that i passed through and i couldnt believe it...
there was this one part, the sandwich of death, were he, the
group leader, had me leade the way because he had to go back
to get the others... so there i am, in pain still from going
through the pooh, and hes having me lead the way... he tells
me in broken english, take lefts, and rights, big rock go
under, watch out for 30ft drop. bla blah... it was tiny, it
was a crack in two rocks, it was tight!! i could go on, but
i wont, because i cant, our train is leaving soon!!! shoot!
gotta run.. were are donig well, if you dont hear from me
or peter, thats because we are in romania... and possibly
dead. take care. pj

we've had some really nice clear
(cold!) days here... beats rain and crazy winds that eat right
through your clothes. yesterday we hung out with some family
friends who live here in budapest... that was nice, they showed
us around, cooked us yummy dinner and had some nice chats.
we went to the statue park, with old communist scultptures...
it was cold so we didnt stay long. it was very interesting
though. ive been thinking about taking a trip through finland
(or norway or sweden) in the summer with motercycles.. and
tents.. all you would need is gas and food. go in the summer,
skip cities, country only, small towns, it would be perfect!
im already getting excited! we went with some people from
the hostel and watch the score... intertaining but bad...
we walked the pedestrian streets toiday and went to a huge
flea market... weve seen so mnany beautiful casltes and churches
and bridges... whoaa~! anyhow, things are well, were having
a good time. we leave budaland on tues. it looks like. pj

cant belive im in budapest. went
to the thermal baths today, got a full body massage, which
was about fifty percent pleasure and forty percent pain. the
other ten percent was just tickelish, which for me is unpleasant
but not quite pain. in summa, it was an experience im glad
i had but gladder-yes gladder, i wont have to repeat. were
at the yellow submarine hostel, full of canucks as usual with
a token american or two. are there any canadians left in candada?
they wear maple leaf patches and shirts and say eh incessently
so that would never be mistaken for an american. o, mom, if
you get any packages to me, dont open em. vienna was very
nice, although the weather was nasty. the meisels were delightful,
though, and we left vienna feeling tremendously well loved.

thez have been too good to us, taking me and peter to the
lake, out to eat... cooking breakfast for us (even when we
wake up at 12pm), cooking yummy dinners for us... it has really
been a nice time, they have made us feel at home. me and irene
went to a improv show. we had a good time... we got the last
tickets, it was a tiny venue, some of the skits thez did were
very funny. peter alreadz mentioned about the nude skinnydipper...
it was out of nowhere... all of a sudden, this dude starts
taking off all his clothes, underware and all... right in
front of me peter and the whole meisel family... and jumped
in the lake. it was below freezing... must have lost a bet
or something.... then thez took us to a little town, i cant
remember the name, and there was a little fair taking place,
roasted chestnuts, hot wine, wieners, and austrian dancers,
that me and peter took part in (just ask pete about the girl
that asked him... hmmmmm) we#ve seen lots, so manz beautiful
churches... neat little stores, coffee shops... next is hungary.

this is home of the "wiener" or hot dog. we are staying with
the wonderful meisel family, who are feeding us extroardinary
amounts of food and pampering us like babes. they#ve shown
us around the city and today we piled in the family mini van
and took a trip to the country. We went to a little town fair
where some traditional dancing was going down, and we got
pulled in by soem austian lasses and danced like the devils
we are. we also journied to a lake, but it waws windy and
cold, so we didn#t stick around too long. the weatehr didn#t
stop one yound skinny dipping enthusiast, who disrobed in
front of all and jumped right in. Were now kicking ourselves
for not capturing it on film. just another day in the life
of peter a. fish.

was fun... we biked outside of the town a bit, up some farm
road... smelt like kaka. peter. it was a work up going up.
just rollnig mountains everywhere you look. trees, lotso f
trees. we parked our bikes and went in and played with the
trees and forests. it was a rain forest really. that wore
me out. peter wanted to keep going. and he did, i came back
early. crazy kid cant sit still. then we ate like kings...
we had our own little 'cave', im not kidding... it was underground,
and the celieing was all rough and jagged (is that right..?)
anyhow, the other two tables in our cave were reseved till

krumlov is a nice break from the
big cities. It's built right on the banks of the mighty valtava
river, and I've tried for two days to rent a canoe, to no
avail. Tried to rent horses too, another bust. We did manage
to get ahold of two bikes, so we pedaled off into some rolling
fields surrounded by evergreen forests. It's awfully inexpensive
here. We ate out last night at a medieval style eatspot, got
a big woodblock piled with meat, bought a few rounds of frothy
local brew, and I had two desserts, all for about 4.50. Came
back to our hostel and some chick had a bunch of simpsons
episodes on tape, so we watched those for a few hours. Reading
Augustine's Confessions.

all over prague now, and im gettin a little restless. Pj's
much more equipt for chilling, than I am. I get antsy, but
Pj loves to spend nice chunks of the day in cafes and coffeeshops.
It's good for me to learn I think. He also loves movies, so
we,ve seen I think 5, more than I've seen in the past two
years. They're really cheap. Too many tourists in Prague!
I'm ready to head to a small little village in the czech countryside.
Pj and I befriended a homeless girl named Eva, and she told
us some intersting stories. Eva walks around the city with
her german shepherd, who is both her protector and her best
friend. I bought a bag of bread and I've been giving that
to all the beggers when they ask for change, and that works
pretty well. Haven't quite figured out a good way to respond
to the pot-sellers who hound us fifty times a day. Suggestions?

good to have some privacy again. we took the train from leipzig
to dresden, then missed the train to czech so we had to wait
a couple hours, then onto prague, where we currenly are. and
will be. for a while. things are cheap. food, my ciggs, lodging...
its a nice change from the expenses of scandinavia. we plan

yo. it's nice to be outside oslo--there
are lots and lots of trees and mountains and little mountian
lakes and very few people. and that's nice. going hiking today.
this country is awfully expensive, despite the fact that pj
and i have stayed with friends the entire time. we've also
concluded that we are more norwegian than the norwegians themselves,
that our grandpappy got out of the country just in time to
escape a mass sell out. that is to say, all the guys here
have girly haircuts, tight pants and are way too into their
look. no one has beards, much less thick jiucy unruly beards
like mine, and it draws a bit of attention. nothing is left,
i'm afraid , of that fierce viking heritage. maybe i can inspire
them back to the old ways. the land itself is pretty impressive.

WHAT WE ARE UP
TO:
very tired. me and peter saw alot
today... i think we've seen all the sites here in oslo....
oslo is very clean, very rich... its too bad we are starting
our trip with this. we are spoiled now... it would have been
nice to finish here... oh well... things are expensive though...
eastern europe will be nice in the pocket-book. hopefully
peter will fill everyone in on what we saw today... the old
viking ships, the folk museum... some art gallaries... lots.
tomorrow it looks like we are off to Bø, norway.. see some
country for a couple days... post more later. .pj.

WHAT WE ARE UP
TO:
Norway is a groovy. It feels pretty
small, even Oslo doesn't feel like a big city really. Ina
and her family are great--they feed us and love us and clothe
us and so on. Haven't really seen too much so I'll write more
later. Peace from out east. Pete.
