The Not Norway Post

I am going to post a blog about my adventures in Norway, but first I want to note a few things I missed while there. Not events, though there were a few of those, but people and things.

1. My family. More specifically, my parents. The first day was rough because I was so tired and all I wanted to do was curl up in bed and talk to my mom and dad.

2. Driving. I sometimes I just like to drive around and sing to the radio. I rode in the back of a 9 passenger van while in Norway. Many fun times were had in the van (The Genovian), but as I drove around Rome today I realized how much I missed being able to drive.

3. Home cooking. My mom makes incredible food. Our family rarely goes out to eat, so doing that all the time gets old any time I am away from home. 

4. Alone time. I was constantly with people. It was very rare that I was alone. I love people most days, but there are definitely times when I need to get away.

5. My shower. I miss this anytime I am not at home. It has the best water pressure.

These are just a few things that I missed. It gave me just a glimpse of what my sister, Alyssa, will have to do without for an entire year. She will go without all this and so much more while on the World Race.
