Bryne

Norway:

Now I am in Bryne - about 25 miles south of Stavanger - the south-western corner of Norway: 

As with everywhere in Norway - the countryside is stunning and the people are fabulous.

There is a river that goes through town - this sculpture (spears in the water) is called Momento Mori which is Latin. It is supposed to remind us of the victories we have today - because tomorrow you might not have a victory - you could be dead!! In other words, you are only human - you will die some day. I think is a particularly "Norwegian" perspective on life!

I am very sad to hear about the bombings in Boston earlier today. My heart and prayers are with the victims of this terrorist attack.
