The story of Cap D´Ail


Hi, i´m back!

May and June has been very busy. I have also been treated for my bad hip, and i´ve done a lot of excersises to heal. Long bisyckle rides and swimming. I took Acupuncture, and it seems to help more than Fysiotherapy.

Anyway. Let´s talk about art...
My trip to France, Cap D´Ail was a bit surreal. What
a nice place, surrounded by beautiful buildings and beaches and good atmosphere. So many nice people... The family Ringestad at Hotel Normandy was a real energy bomb!

We came down on tuesday the 13.th. of April.
My pictures were sent by TNT a week before. They hadn´t arrived to the hotel until Friday morning after several telephone calls from all of us (And thank´s Jo, i guess you touched a magic button there...).
On wednesday the vulcano on Iceland had an outbreak, and it turned our nice trip into a nightmare. We were in Paradise, but now everybody talked about how to get home.
We are all mothers and some of my friends were supposed to go back for a sisters 40. birthday party, and the day after she was supposed to be a childs godmother. Instead she and her friend had to hitchike to Hamburg, and from there by boat to Gothenburg, and car to Oslo.
The whole trip ended in the question: "How to get home"...
The day before we left, Michele, the owner of the hotel, arranged a goodbye dinner for us. Such a good cook of healthy food. I made her rootbeet and onion sallad when i got back home... Thank you Michele!
Anyway...Thank´s for a new experience. We survived, we were not refugees escaping from a war, but tourists trying to get home to our children. So... we thought about it...
We are SO, so lucky!
3 days by train, and we were back in our little town OSLO.

I´ll be back in Cap D´Ail in September... ;)

The end!
