The land of my forefathers

...well, at least the land of my great-grandfather, Ulrick Ulrickson.

OSLO, Norway-- I am surrounded by people that look like me! This is unbelievable. They do not have the ojos chinitos like I do, for the most part we have a resemblance. What a fascinating change this is compared to Spain.

Today in Norway`s biggest city I saw the Opera house, a fortress way older than the States, the American Embassy and...the Crown Prince!

Norwegian lessons have begun, and the sounds are completely foreign to me. First thing to realize is that I shall speak with an Eastern Norwegian accent, using a friendly and familiar Spanish r rather than a gutteral, more challenging one.

More adventures to come in the land of the vikings and fjords...
