Lil'Siss

Thursday night, 30 minutes before scheduled, my sister, Thea and myself arrived at SFO (SF airport). A tiny bit exhausted after the long trip we went home and passed out. The early night resulted in an early start Friday. I was out of bed at 6 am, and Thea just after. 10 am we left the house.

The sightseeing day started in Golden Gate Park.







We spent a few hours walking through the park and Hayes street towards Alamo Park





After all the walking we caught the bus to the Norwegian Sjomanns Kirka (Norwegian Church). The had a Christmas Basar on which meant heaps of Norwegian food and things/"souvenirs". Since we were in the area we also stopped by Lumbart St and took the tram to the city.




We ended the day with dinner and Twilight - Breaking Dawn. Ah, amazing movie! At 10 pm - 12 hours after we left the house, all we could do was pass out.

Next morning we managed to sleep until 7 am. After breakfast we went up the hill to a look-out spot, and then to the city for some shopping. We both ended up broke, but with a new wardrobe. So I guess it was worth it.

Bestefar

Kjære Bæst'n!

Det led mot kvelds og sol gikk ned. 
Ditt hjerte stilnet og du fikk fred.

For alltid gjemt i våre hjerter. På gjensyn kjære Bestefar. 


On November 6 2011 our best grandfather felt asleep. He was a man no one who ever met could ever forget. Smart, friendly, helpful, social, a story teller, musical, honest, hard working and loving. Now you can finally rest in piece. 

A few days later Thea and I arrived Norway. It has been a memorable, good and sad week where the whole family has been gathered.
