So today we went to some more museums, surprise there huh? We went to the Henrick Ibsen and Resistance Museums today. Henrick Ibsen was a very famous Norwegian playwright during the late 19th century. The museum is his apartment in Oslo. I really wasn't that impressed with it. I guess I just didn't want to walk around his apartment. There was also a section on street level with some of his medals and awards and facts about him. It just really wasn't my thing and was happy when we left.
After that we went to the Resistance Museum. That was really awesome! It was all about the underground Norwegian resistance forces during WWII. There was a lot of stuff in there for the somewhat small building it was in. There were old radios they used, some of the first unerground newspapers and weapons. They also showed how they hid their information such as rolls of film in the heels of their shoes and radios disguised as cameras. It was illegal to have a receiver and a death sentence to have a transmitter while the Nazi's were in power. I got some really cool pix there. There was so much there than I have time to type. If you want to know more ask me....it was way cool.
Hope all is well in the States. This is a short post because I wrote alot in my other journal today and am wanting to go to bed soon!
