Easter almost here

Wow, it's time for an update!

Spring has pretty much sprung in Bergen, although we did get a dash of icy rain this morning. Collegues at the Institute and the rest of the Norwegian population are winding down and getting ready for the Easter holiday week (synonymous with our Spring Break week).

Simon and I will hitch a ride with my parents-in-law Carl and Else down to Haugesund on Wednesday for our Easter vacation. We look forward to visiting our Dankel relatives, living in the seaside cabin and fishing for mackerel. If I'm brave enough, I will take some morning swims in the fjord. At least I'm sure Else will! I'll keep you posted... :)

Simon and I attended a beautiful Easter concert by the Bergen Brass Band at the Korskirken (Cross Church) downtown last night. One of the 13 numbers was 'Pie Jesu' which was super good. Also the tenor soloist was fantastic! We were invited by Simon's friend who plays the baritone, but we forgot we had to pay to get in. Luckily, Simon was able to scrounge up the 100 kroner (about $13) from his pocket and we got in. As luck would have it, Simon found a 100 kroner bill in the middle of the road 2 minutes after the concert. Maybe that was God's way of providing since we only have $15 left for food until I get paid again on the 8th? haha, maybe! ;)

I'll be back with Easter pictures from Haugesund!
Have a blessed Easter! Ha en riktig fin påske!

Love, Dolly.
