A Day of Firsts

We got off to a late start this morning; apparently we all had some catching up to do on our sleep because we didn't wake up until nearly 10:30 a.m. (even Zach!). It was wonderful!

Then I tried cooking my first Norwegian meal---meaning of course that I cooked it in Norway, not that it was pickled herring or something. Grilled cheese and soup sounds like it should be easy to put together, but try doing it using a digital induction stove for the first time (manuals in Norwegian, of course). It was quite an accomplishment! I haven't yet tried to use the oven, but I'll need to figure out how to convert temperatures to celsius first.

After lunch we took our first train ride into the city to buy our transportation passes and do some sightseeing. We also tried out the city trams to check out Aker Brygge, a nice shopping area near the harbor with a boardwalk. Zach is in heaven!
