Sunny and almost 70! that is what greeted us on our arrival today. On top of that, the prices are reasonable! Gone are the fjords, and we are in an eastern European city that is coming into its own. The young people are rebellious (Colored hair, strange clothes, etc.), and there is a sense of progress in the city. The buildings are similar to Eastern European architecture. Not much flair.

One of the buildings that they love to talk about is the Lutheran Cathedral, yes cathedral! It is a massive building, plain on the inside, but a very impressive building. Lutheran is the national religion (as it was in Norway), as it should be all over the world. It would be a better place.

The other unique church is a "church in the rock". A church that was made by boring out the rock and putting a copper roof on it. Also Lutheran.

The city is compact, and the tram system is great to get around with. We came across a farmers market and Bill bought some giant fresh green peas to snack on.

We have one more day here and then we are taking a cruise to Stockholm tomorrow night.
