A painting called the view at Lunde.

Have you ever stayed in a place that honestly looks as though you were inside of a painting? The view out of our bedroom window here in Lunde seriously looks as though it could be a famous painting. Perhaps one that you would find in the Louvre halls. I have been to many amazing places and seen many amazing things but this view, even with the rainy day we are having looks like it should be with other impressionist paintings. After our breakfast of eggs and bread we decided to drive in Skei, the most immediate town up the road from our apartment. It's a small town with one gas station and two grocery stores as well as what we have dubbed the Christmas store. We aren't actually sure if they always have Christmas items on display or simply if it's because it's November now, but this store is essentially anything and everything Norwegian you could ever need. From beautiful hand knit sweaters and furs to souvenirs (and of course the Christmas section) they have everything you could possibly want. Keeping in mind they are the only "shop" in town they have some interesting prices on their items. Now that we have picked up some items from the grocery store we are going to head back to the apartment and check out some Norwegian television.
