Arrival in Bergen

Just how long are days here at this, 3 weeks before solstice? Well, here’s outside our window when we get tired if waiting for it to get dark ...at 11:04 pm!

Earlier, after we arrived at our hotel, 

We went out wandering for awhile. Bergen is all about the harbor....always has been. More on that later. For tonight, we’re just out for a quick bite...or at least George is. I just tag along, having had quite enough food for the day. We’re constantly eating! Here’s a sign outside the Mexican quick food place he decides on

This morning George heard on the news that our illustrious leader is imposing a 5% tarrif on Mexico to incentivize them to stop people from imigrating to the US! Madness. 

Anyway, we haven’t been listening much to the news. Here it’s all been about the EU elections, which were last week. The populist party made advances, but not as much as was ‘feared’. So too, did the environmental party. The Social Democrat and similar parties still are dominant, but the coalitions going forward will need to make adjustments.
