January-February 2007

I got to go home for January and spend time working, with the added bonus of visiting family and friends in Calgary/Edmonton/Lethbridge!
Family time in Lethbridge with Christy and the nieces
 




Mountain time in Banff and Canmore


And Friend-time, for example with Justyna:
  who married Tyler in Cuba, which I missed (gorgeous!):


Then back to good ol' Norway, and the good news: it had snowed finally!
The ski trails and forests were gorgeous! There is even a lit track so you can ski at night. These Norwegians sure know how to get out in nature!
It has since melted and reverted to the swampland I have come to know so well. :)




    (Making snow-ski-angels... didn't really work)

And for a taste of my "school" life, here's a few shots from the International Food and Culture Night last weekend:

Del, the amazing drummer guy from Mali


and my friends Meskerem and Marta - man, these girls can COOK!!  (I'm hoping to come home proficient in Ethiopian fare...we'll see.)
