My Sarpsborg Rotary Host Family

I had the pleasure of staying with a wonderful couple in Sarpsborg, Inger and Harald. Both are educators and taught me so much about the history and geography of Norway. I could probably hold my own on the two topics with a Norwegian primary school child--quite impressive for a nonnative.

This was the guest house situated beside their lake cottage I slept in for a few days over the Norwegian Labor Day weekend. It was so cozy. I felt renurished to be near the water again. It felt like being home--only colder. But the crocus are emerging and many trees are full of buds; spring is around the corner.
