Today was our last full day in Oslo, Norway, or Europe at all for that matter. Tomorrow, we will board our 8 hour plane ride back to the US of A. It rained all day pretty much, with the exception of 20 minutes during our dinner hour. Pooh! Anyway, today was all about shopping for last minute gifts. We didn't really shop for any in Paris because we were so excited over our engagement. It was hard to buy things in Belgium because my relatives literally had other plans for us....and this was the only place to really find stuff. We also visited the Opera House, where Leonard said that he nearly broke his neck. The Opera House has a slanted roof that people can climb up onto. It was even more dangerous with the rain on the marble roof. We also saw an awesome dress store where we purchased a nice party dress for me to wear for an engagement party/theater date/ etc. I am totally stoked.
We had dinner at Liv's house. She made the most delicious tilapia wrapped around asparagus....yummy. And home made ice cream. We also discussed my parents' coin collection back home and she gave me some expired Kroner for me to take back to Paso, along with the coins I have gotten from this trip already.
After dinner, Aaron and I went to the movies for "Mamma Mia!" It was all right... it was either that or Dark Knight and we didn't want strange subtitles on such a dark and twisted movie. What was most interesting about our Norweigan movies experience was that they have assigned seating. Since we arrive 15 minutes before the movie started, we had to sit one in front of the other. It was fine though, and we will never show up that late to a movie in Oslo again.
