A rainy weekend in Oslo

Oslo, Norway is slowly becoming my third country home. With its serene fjords, fresh air, crystal waters, great food, small town feel and the loveliest people ever, it is no wonder I am so taken with this place.

Since it is not my first time in Norway (third time to be exact) I definitely didn't mind the very wet weather which prevailed for the majority of the weekend. An Opera house tour gave me inspiration to dance and perform; not to mention a bit of history for this unique architectural gem and culture center which was 50 years in planning before it came into existence. The water sculpture out front is shaped like a glacier and the inside wood panelling was inspired by the flow of water.

However, the best fish and chips I ever had put on at least 5 lbs. of pure goodness - http://www.fiskehallen.no/english.html. Not to mention I was introduced to a desert cognac that would must make heads turn.

A bike ride in Oslo is a must when the sun pops out. The streets are very pedestrian friendly and the roads are not too over-shadowed with traffic.

I've decided a yearly visit to Oslo for a bit of love, food, friends and activity is a must so next year I am thinking a cross- country ski trip in the winter is a must. Can't wait.
