National Park!

(download)
Last weekend we went to the national park! It was so beautiful there, I could've said for hours, maybe days longer! The cabin was fully stocked, and we got water from the river to drink and cook everything we needed. The water tasted very, very good! The cabin was cozy, and we were all so tired after the hike. I had loads of pasta, and then we all went to bed. I was also shown was a "steamroller," is, and the proper way to do it. (For those of you, like me, don't know what it is, steamroller is when you have multiple people in sleeping bags and you roll on top of each other....). The group was a mix of international students from Germany, Switzerland, France, and so many other countries. I was one of two from the United States, the other girl being from California (very different, but its fun to have someone who knows the US.) The park was beyond beautiful, it felt like I was in a dream, and I didn't want to wake up from the awe inspiring peaks and mountainous landscapes. I will post some pictures below. We also came up close and personal to muk ox, which kind of remind me of a smaller version of bison, only made for the arctic climate. The weather throughout the hike was perfect, being chilly but comfortable when you are exercising and hiking. I came back to the dorm sore, happy, and relaxed. Then this week we were thrown into a vigorous class with a teacher from Poland, analyzing fox feces. It was nice to have my norwegian lesson today, something that doesn't make me want to gag from the smell. I will master norwegian, and finally be able to understand the conversation at the table with my flat mates!
