The Sunday Scream...With Ice Cream

This Sunday we were blessed and burnt with the Norwegian sun. We started off the day seeing the famous painting by Edvard Munch titled The Scream. This little dude has been screaming for 120 years...he must be getting pretty tired. A lot of things were closed cause its a holiday weekend and even the garbage was on holiday but that also meant that we got to go into a bunch of museums FO FREE! If there is one thing I have learned on this trip it is to not trust the weather forecast. I was expecting cold and rainy weather but it has been beautiful outside....enough to get our fair Minnesotan skin pretty sunburnt. WE could have easily prevented this by wearing sunscreen but we are college students who like to break the rules and live on the edge...YOLO. After the museum we had to some time to poke our heads into a couple of souvenir shops. We had some time to kill before our ferry ride tour of the fjords and sense it was hot, that meant ice cream! After almost misplacing two of our group members we boarded the ferry that looked more like a pirate ship. We were able to confirm that it was a pirate ship once we saw jack sparrow (lol jk he wasn't on the boat...but it still looked like a pirate ship). For those of you who don't know, a fjord is like a little inlet, or an opposite peninsula, or a calanque if you speak French, and if you still don't know what it is after my detailed description I suggest you just google it...they are pretty neat. The boat had a really loud horn that made us scream slash jump every time it was inconveniently sounded. Fjords were created when glaciers melted a really long time ago and filled up the space with water. Some guy on the shore of one of the islands mooned us as we passed by but don't worry, I flashed him back. (Just kidding mom, I promise I am behaving on this trip). After the fjord pirate ship boat ride we walked around town before dinner. Many of us are spending our night writing a paper about the sculpture garden we visited yesterday. Doing homework becomes a lot more difficult ounces you are in a foreign country...but we are surviving! Peace out, Emily Gebhart P.s. hi mom, dad, mollie, abbey, velma, and daphne
