Dinner at Inger's house

Inger was so nice to invite us to her house for dinner tonight. It was so fun; there was marshmallows, food, fresh plums from her garden, and of course a Norwegian dinner. There were other professors and lecturers, and students from different points of our program at the dinner and it was nice to meet them all. The dinner was of course wonderful. And Collin, if you are reading this, Emily tried to eat some smoked salmon just for you! Some of the Tanzanians had never had roasted marshmallow before, so it was interesting to see their reactions. Some liked it, others didn't. We also had ice cream with rasberries, and then coffee and tea. Kris, you are right; the coffee is very STRONG! But I enjoyed it anyway. In any case it was a fun event. I have pictures at the end of the writing.

Inger's house was AMAZING! She has a huge house, with a bunch of book shelves that seemed very impressive to me. Her garden was also one of the characteristics that caught my attention. So, of course, I went around her house and took pictures (just for you Olesya!). She basically has her house surrounded by gardens. It was beautiful!

So! Here are the pictures of the night!

Everyone wants a marshmallow! I started a trend =)


Left side of Inger's garden. There's a cart with yardwaste in it I think.


This is Inger's garage. It had a nice simplistic homie feel to it. To me, it looks like a picture from a post card.


Genevieve likes the roses!


The right side of Inger's garden, leading to the back yard. All those bikes belong to the students and others who rode them to her house. There's of course, the Yellow Bike Brigade.


A pile of wood (Yes, Genevieve, I really just labled it "A pile of wood")


The steps leading up to the balcony where we ate.


More flowers along the balcony railing.
