Kick the baby
Hi there! Having a fabulous time in Norway, but spending less time with internet access than expected. All in all my last-minute trip-planning frenzy seems to be paying off splendidly, although sometimes the best moments are those that one cannot plan for. Such as the country western festival we just encountered in a remote little town in the Lofoten Islands. Norwegians wearing cowboy outfits = adorable.
(NB - the photo is not from the country western festival, but rather a statue in a park in Oslo. It illustrates the popular Norwegian sport of Naked Baby Wrestling. This is the sport's first national hero, Olav the Babykicker.)

Ah yes, Gustav Vigeland's "Man Many Boys"
I don't think anyone knows what the artist was trying to convey...
Is that holding that one baby up in the air by his peener?
Ooooh, I wish we had been able to find time to go to the Lofoten Islands when we were in Norway, if for no other reason that there is a town there called Å.
That is the best statue I have ever seen in my life. Must go to Norway now.
too too funny!
Glad you're having a good time!
Kirk, we are so on the same wavelength. I planned the whole trip around Å, and my main attraction to it was definitely its name...
Oh. My. Interesting statue.
