OK. One more try.
I spent almost a week in Oslo to visit CTyler. We've talked about 6 years, and I had the distinct honor of being the first person from online he met in person. =)
I met several other nifty folk over there; among them were his sister - it was fun giggling with her and making Tyler roll his eyes and say, "Women!", Quentin of Art & Soul Tattoo in Oslo (he worked on my skin - yay ink!) and who has, definitely, the softest touch of anyone who has put needle to my skin, Vilde, Trine and Kaia (also artists there at Art & Soul).
TYler and I walked so much (sorry Tyler!) - the architecture was greatly varied and very interesting - seeing the buildings with Masonic symbols on them from ages before when the Masons were very big there was neat. We went to the Munch museum, the Historical museum, and had planned to go to a few other places, but time ran out. Oh! One day walking about, in one of the big squares there, there was a man who was carving HUGE blocks of wood with a chain saw - neat!
There was a Scottish pub we went to (heh if it's not Scottish, it's CRAP!), and one of his haunts Rock In. It was a neat bar, rather mellow at the time we went for the place. Good metal music - I loved the variety of sources of the metal - you just don't get that over here.
Spending time with Tyler was probably the most fun I have had in a very long time. I'd love to go back. Oh! It snowed only once while there - on my trip to the airport to leave for home. The flakes were fat and huge and slow and heavy, like Santa was going to come along any minute on a sleigh.
I think he may be heading stateside with Q come May, and if so, I'll try to head out to NOLA to say heydie - it's only a 9 1/2 hour drive, or possibly October for a tattoo convention.
I wish I could put this in better with pictures, but I only took two - from the museum - a standing stone covered with runescript, and a picture Tyler took for me and sent, the scuba divers in the sky - that's a neat one.
I still want to get to the sculpture garden, the Viking museum and the cultural museum - and so many more places.
