A day of rest in Oslo

Today has been a rainy day with some bright, warm sunshine followed by gray skies, thunder, and more rain. Bill still has a fever, even with Tylenol. He was so happy to show me 98.6 after his shower, but a leisurely walk to just a couple of Oslo's close sites was plenty for us. It was a good day to rest and try to recuperate.

We did walk to the Akershus Fortress that was built in the late 13th century, first as a castle and later as a fortress. There were only a handful of people wandering the grounds. We preferred that!

Yesterday, Bill posted a picture of a statue in front of the Edvard Munch museum, one he took from a distance. Then late last night Heather told us more. This is "The Mother," a sculpture done by Tracey Emins, a British artist. We photographed her again today, and Bill added them here. Heather shared this short video with me, and I was so touched by it that I thought I would share it, too. Thank you, Heather, and all the women we know and love.
