17 th May 1814: Norway were finally free from Swedens reign. We were now an independent nation and it is not fun to be in England today. Last year I was actually in France, so I haven't been celebrating 17 May since I was russ (senior) two years ago.
Me and Felicia decided to wear red, white and blue today to show our love for our country. Unfortunately I didn't bring my camera with me today, but I will post a picture of the flag instead. Better than nothing, right?
I wish I was back in Norway today, to see either my two nephews or my cousin, celebrate. However, I can now say "I'm going home next week". NEXT WEEK! It's crazy! It feels very surreal, but I am looking forward to it :) And in two weeks I will also see my nephew for the first time. Exiting :D

wait.. what??? UNNSKYLD MEG. men vi ble vel ikke fri fra sverige på 17. mai?? det er 7. juni :P vi fikk grunnlov på 17. mai og det er vel det :P sorry mac, nå gjør du ikke ære på gjerdes navn som historielærer, hahaha :P
(altså, vi var vel frie litt etter 17. mai 1814, 1: det var fra danmark, og 2: kort tid etter måtte vi jo i union med sverige, så det teller ikke :P)
(unionsoppløsningen med sverige var 7. juni 1905!)
(det var dagens historielekse fra elise. takk og farvel!! :P)
