PMFA is on a summer adventure and I invite you to follow along.
As many of you know, I return to Europe every year to visit family and friends, and to take care of an old farmhouse in the Auvergne, France. This time, we begin our trip in Oslo, Norway. We had visited Bergen a few years ago, but had never been in Norway's capital. So here we are,  enjoying this interesting city under the bluest sky since we arrived on Sunday afternoon.
So far, we have visited the Munch Museum, the Nobel Peace Center, the Viking Ship Museum, the Astrid Fearnley Museum of Modern Art, and the Norwegian Folk Museum (my favorite by far because it features many old furnished cottages and farmhouses).
In between, we have taken long walks through the City, around the harbor, and along the Akerselva River.
Everyone here is enjoying the beginning of summer and the good weather, including us.

So here is to summer, to new adventures and to new impressions. Stay tuned as I will post throughout my travels.
Cheers!
