Nice Little Old Lady Day

Yesterday, I wanted to fold paper. Today I folded paper.

I just did whatever I wanted to do today. Didn’t feel one bit guilty about not doing anything. I have fallen in with a bad crowd of women. They are always doing good stuff. I am not much of a doer. 

Yesterday I also wanted to rescue this video from the Norway Trip Dump. 

The ferry stopped for about 4 hours in Kirkenes. It was the turn around point. The day before I had taken a bus to the northern most point in Europe.  It was sort of fake. Just a place for a photo op. 

But 3,500 people live in Kirkenes. !0% of them are Russians. Up until recently Kirkenes and Russia were best of friends.  Many of the signs in town are in Russian and Norwegian. 

Anyhow, after breakfast, I decided to walk to exciting downtown Kirkenes. It was Sunday. And Norway isn’t very busy on Sunday.

Yeah, looks like a great place for a walk.

This is the first 7 minutes of the walk to town. It was snowing. The wind was blowing. There was snow everywhere. I knew that if I fell I would be covered in snow before I could get up. It was one of the more memorable parts of the trip. A simple walk. On Sunday morning. 

Look at it full screen. Enjoy the total end of the world experience. (I don’t expect anyone to actually watch it to the end. Nothing changes. It keeps snowing. I keep walking.)

I love signs like this. Maybe I should make one for the Old Bat’s Cave.
