Norway, Europe
Untitled
I was born in Norway, in an extremely rural part, called Farsund Kommune, in Vest-Agder. Its at the very southern tip of Norway. We lived there until I was 3, and we go back every summer. My old house was actually a working farm until we moved away, and the building was over 200 years old. Almost everyone on my maternal grandmother’s side of the family was born in that house, as was my mother’s generation, and my own. The house was located high high up on a mountain, and in the summer, July and August, when the sun is out longer, we used to sit up on the roof and look down at the fjord below us. Also, its pretty commonplace there to have a boat, and we, as well as most of the people who lived in Farsund would go out boating or waterskiing at like, midnight, because it was still light enough. Nothing like rejoicing in the daylight. There was an old shaman who lived further up the mountain from us, and he raised Norwegian Elk Hounds. He had one of the largest Elk Hounds in the world or some such nonesense. It’s just amazing that the olde culture is still alive and kicking.
