BECAUSE EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING IT

Spaniards are serious about their August vacations. At least 70% of the stores around us are currently closed for 3+ weeks and 100% of them have shorter business hours. So in the spirit of embracing all things European, and since vacationing has taken on an arms-racey kind of vibe, we're going on holiday, too. We're headed to Norway tomorrow morning where we'll spend a couple of days in Oslo, a couple days in Bergen, and then a few more in "Fjordland" (Aaron's name for the unpronounceable). Though Eliza was especially worried that this was the start of another nomadic escapade, we're all looking forward to another little adventure...this time with properly equipped suitcases and a sufficiently settled home base to return to.
