Fresh Fish

Norway might be my new favorite country in the world (after USA, of course). There are so many differences in the landscape. Lakes, woods, mountains, cities, reindeer... It is so interesting! We found a little restaurant near the Northkapp that advertised that they serve fish. We went inside and were informed that this was a family style restaurant where you don't really choose what you eat--you just eat what you get. We sat down and we served soup, bread, salad and lots of really good, fresh fish! It was such a good meal and this picture was the view from our table! It seams like there are more boats than houses, and fresh fish can be found everywhere!! We stopped many times for warm, freshly smoked salmon and would eat it right away with cheese and bread! A perfect meal! The roads are pretty bare...there are not many houses and the towns are really far apart from each other. People do their own thing and there is a TON of fishing!! Those of you from central and northern MN: I know that Norway or Finland would be ideal places if anyone ever wanted to move to a new country! Dad...you would love it!! Many people travel to the Northkapp with campers. There is a great policy: you are allowed to pull over and sleep anywhere you want to, just don't leave trash and don't bother anybody!
