(Rob:) We spent our first non-traveling day in Oslo today on a walking tour of the city with a local guide. Here are a few pics:

Back at the hotel tonight, we video chatted with Sam and found that he was just as tall as he was when we left Saturday:
Tomorrow we're taking a driving tour around the area with our guide Hilda, then tomorrow night: THE BOSS!
Great photos, great reporting. Looking forward to tomorrow's edition. How's the weather? It looks pretty chilly. Have fun!
Love,
Mom/Judy
