Skien, Norway

Pronounced "shi-en". We walked the whole day in the rain when in Skien, with Moody as our tour guide. It was also this very day that my Muji canvas shoes decided to give way and rip a hole in one my the soles so I walked around with squelchy feet. Zzz. Moody brought us to this little museum at the peak of an enormous flight of stairs--home to a number of old Norwegian wooden lofts. Pretty amazing stuff. I think we were most amused though, by the fact that we were blowing smoke out of our mouths at one point in time. Cooooooooooooooool huh.
