I spoke too soon!

I definitely spoke way too soon about that great European summer weather.  Today was terribly grey and it rained on and off the entire day, but I still let Jo convince me to go ashore and walk around.  The city of Bergen is absolutely beautiful even on a rainy day, so I can only imagine how incredible a sun-shiny day would be.  The grass is so green (from all the rain) and there are tons of statues everywhere giving the city lots history and culture.  Most of the statues were pretty interesting – like a guy playing a violin on the top of a fountain made of rocks with a Zues-looking Mermaid below.  And this one…just plain odd.  It’s a naked kid (boy) with his face all scrunched up.  Just odd. 

Bergen, Norway - Weirdest Fountain EVER!

Jo and I didn’t do much – walked around as we usually do but then the downpour started to come, so we went inside a McDonalds (surprise, surprise) and got some (terribly slow) Wi-Fi.  There were kids everywhere screaming and yelling, so we lasted about an hour there and then headed “home” and into the warm.  In a way, it was good – I got a good workout in before I had to start work.

Hopefully the weather will start to look up again…soon!!

Quote (Lyrics) of the day:   This song really gets me right now with the current situation.

"Love Don't Run" by Steve Holy
This is gonna hurt, this is gonna hurt like hell
This is gonna damn near kill me, sometimes the truth aint easy
I know that you’re scared of telling me something
I don’t wanna hear, but baby believe that
I’m not leaving, you couldn’t give me one good reason
[Chorus:]
Love don’t run, love don’t hide
It won't turn away or back down from a fight
Baby I’m right here and I aint going anywhere
Love’s too tough it wont give up no not on us
Baby Love don’t run
Let’s lay it on the line, I don’t care if it takes all night cuz
This is gonna makes us stronger, it’s gonna make forever longer
I know it’d be easier walking away but what we got is real
And I wanna save us, baby we can do it, Baby we’ll get through it cause
Love don’t run, love don’t hide
It won't turn away or back down from a fight
Baby I’m right here and I aint going anywhere
Love’s too tough, it wont give up no not on us
Baby Love don’t run
Baby love don’t run
[Bridge:]
So come over here and lay down in my arms
Baby tell me everything that’s on your heart, cause
[Chorus:]
I won’t run, and I won’t hide
I won’t turn away, I just wanna make things right
Baby I’m right here and I aint going anywhere
Love’s too tough it won’t give up no not on us
Baby Love don’t run
Baby Love don’t run
