Stavanger, Norway Day 3 & 4

Stavanger day three was our official unofficial street art tour! We downloaded a map of the past street art festival art locations and set off to explore finding lots of stuff along the way. This post will once again be mostly street art/graffiti. Stavanger loves it and so do we!

So tiny!

Pictures in the bricks!

I loved these that were made to look like apartment buildings

Tou Scene has tons and tons of street art on the buildings in the area

He was really cool - made out of lots of materials

Sitting in the park

With a strange water thing. It was constantly just spinning the water

Lunch at Ostehuset. Avacado toast I think (I don't remember, and can't find an english menu)

And a taco salad. Both were delicious, but not much food

Started to clear up after lunch

We went to Gadja Etiopisk for dinner and this was my favorite Ethiopian food! So so so good. Started with a Sambossa

And a vegan platter with red and green lentils, berbere, spinach, yellow chickpeas, beets, cabbage and carrots, and oh it was delicious!! Highly recommend this place

The next morning was sunny and beautiful! But we had a plane to catch in the afternoon so no grand hiking adventures for us. Next time.

Last lunch was at the Inside Rock Cafe (same chain we ate at in Bergen). These burgers are so tasty!

And we got a side of onion rings because I wanted more!

And that was it for our trip to Norway last year. I loved Stavanger even though the people seemed angry. I loved the street art and wandering around looking for things. We will definitely have to go back one year for the festival!

Fall is here!

So not a whole lot has happened since I last posted. On our anniversary we were going to go on the boat tour of Berlin, but it was rainy and overcast so we decided to wait for a nice sunny day to do that. We had a few errands to run in the morning and then Raymond said about going to a museum. I saw the natural history museum and since I loved the one in Denver we decided to go there. You walk into this big room with lots of fossils and Dinosaurs! They didn't have a lot of things - this was the main room and is maim attraction of the museum. It was a tiny place, and they were doing renovations on a lot of the other exhibits. Apparently it is famous for having the largest dinosaur skeleton in the world! They also had these fun viewfinder things you could look through and if you point it at a dinosaur it would show this animation that filled them in and then showed them running around or eating or whatever. I thought it was fun. There was also a large room of rocks and m...

Den Haag, Netherlands Part 3

Our last day in Den Haag we wandered around just a bit more First stop - the Antique and Book market The ground was all seashells Mondrian on the water by the government buildings We decided to get lunch at Cafe Zeta which was in Grote Markt where they were having a free music festival, Sinester. Though we were there on the last day which was the kids day. It was fun as we were sitting outside and at the stage people were teaching kids how to play things and DJ and stuff. I got the Hippie Buddah Bowl (Bulgur, sweet potato, bald, roasted chickpeas, tahini dressing, avocado, black sesame seeds) with the Fennel mint pear juice And Raymond had the Apple Pear Ginger juice and the Veggie Roast Bowl (mushrooms, red onion rings, rocket, Parmesan cheese, olive oil). Super tasty lunch! A stop at More Pastry for more treats - Peanut butter chocolate tart - so good! And the...

The final days in Paris

Our second day of our museum pass we used to go to the Louvre. It so huge - we spent from open to close there and just managed to see everything. It is also very confusing how to get from point a to point b - so many stairs and up and down floors just to see the one floor....good thing I had Raymond or I would have wondered aimlessly forever (but by the end I had the hang of it). We started with the medieval Louvre, Greek, Etruscan, Roman and Egyptian Antiquities. When we first walked in we were right behind a few tour groups, but somehow we lost them pretty quick and we able to walk around and brows without tons of people. I cannot imagine going during the summer when it is super crowded. I liked the different colors of stone on some of them After that we got some lunch nearby then headed back to look at the paintings Then my favorite part - decorative arts. So much fun pretty things. Replica of Napoleons apartment. Then ...
