This is where Helen's aunt and Rolf live. They have a very beautiful yard (today we get to pick Strawberries)!
Ellen has baked each day! The bread is very good, and very dense, and she's making cinnamon roles for us to take with us to Oslo tonight.
We went to a small town called Helgeroa for dinner last night. On the way, we toured some of the houses/communities that Rolf (Helen's aunt's man-friend) has built. He is a well known local architect. These 'little houses', as he calls them, are one of his favorite projects. He specializes in small residential projects and cabins. He spoke a lot about how important it is to make the new blend with the old, but not make it look old. It's amazing, and very obvious, how much pride people take in their homes. I'm so glad we got to see some projects like this because I think the rest of the trip will be a whirlwind of large and famous buildings.
