A few days ago I wrote about the Vigeland Park in Oslo. I talked about how popular it is and how many people visit it, but I guess I didn't actually talk about how much I like it. It is definitely one of my favorite places in Oslo and I love hanging out there, running, playing frisbee, relaxing in the grass, or showing people around. I found some of my photos from three years ago so I wanted to post those as well.

I can see why you would like it so much -- it looks beautiful (and with fantastic art!) Is that you among the sculptures?

That looks like a really cool park. I am just catching up on your blog, and it's interesting to see the similarities (and differences) between Norway and Alaska. Do you live in Norway now?

Yes, that's me! Cindy Ruth, I don't live there now, I lived there until I was 20 and have been abroad mostly since then.
