I am in Stavanger, Norway. the video below shows "Pulpit Rock" a beast of a thing erupting 607 m straight up out of the fjord below. Bryon and I climbed it today, had lunch there, and then headed home. It was a great hike, and a challenging one. It markes my fifth hike into mountains/wilderness of this trip through Europe, and ranks at the top!
I am here (sadly) for only two more days. Tuesday morning at 0605 i'll be flying to Oslo, then at 0800 to Paris, then 1430 to Newark, NJ. From there my sis is driving up to grab Syl and I and get us back to Cbus early wed sometime. This is all due to Skybus kicking the bucket (R.I.P.)
Within 5 weeks of being home I am a groomsman/best man in 3 weddings. Crazy.
I have loved Europe. The varying languages, the art and history, the foods, the culture of walking and using metros and bikes has really captured me. I am leaving almost 15 pounds lighter than when i arrived, something I plan to maintain/continue when I return stateside.
My summer plans are to get the weddings done first of all. After that would be sorting out where I will be finishing up my bachelor's degree; i am looking at a few options including OSU. I am also planning on going to Costa Rica for a month (July) to study Spanish. This will enable me to knock out a minor (at least) as i'm finishing up school, something that should help with cash later in life.
I am looking forward to seeing friends, to catching up on rest and sleep, to seeing movies recently released (someone please tell me that Arena Grand is still in business...) and to maybe getting a new vehicle?? I hear the Jeep still runs which amazes me thoroughly. I will be glad to have the Mac back, and not have to pay $$$$ out the rear to type to you.
Man thanks to all who have read and posted or not posted. To all who have waited to say what's up, and all who miss me, and all who signed my book. I am thankful for friends.
I will be heading to bed soon so that I can rest for tomorrow's activities. I'm hanging with my Murdocks (see the link on the left of my page) and their 16 month old and 6 week old!! Great kids. Kids rock incidentally...
be blessed. as red green says, keep your stick on the ice.

nice video. its funny...no matter how many miles away and the things that stay with us like Red Green...lol.
anywho, i'm sure you are sad to come back, but hopefully a little excited too (as it seems). it'll be good to see you and i feel lucky that i will be the first to get to see you back :) (hehehe) don't be too sad about it, cause you will soon realize how much you've learned about the person you want to become, if you haven't already. i think a lot of my learning about australia and everything to do with it came to me awhile after i left. no worries man, fly safe and i'll see you in 3 days!!! love you!!!
ps. that picture is super sweet as well. tell bryon i said props. lol.
the pic is mine son...
autoshot on the solo trek in the Alps a month ago...
luvya.
"There I was...607 m above a fjord with a helicopter buzzing me and other onlookers..."(hehe). Sounds like a great 2 months, but can't wait to see you and hear more about it. Gasoline is over $4 a gallon; buy a Prius. My neighbor has a gorgeous silver one. I drool when I see it. We'll warn Chipotle that you're hungry and coming home:) Love--yo momma
can't wait to catch up and hear all about your adventures - give us a call when things slow down a bit!
