And just like that we're here in Norway. The past five days were very intense: grading, cleaning, packing, traveling in one big whirlwind rush. We arrived at Gardermoen airport late last night to silence and cold, and stayed the night in a nearby hotel. It was so lovely--duvets, radiant heat in the floor, wood, peaceful quiet, and amazing Norwegian bread at breakfast. Waves of relief and anticipation of my new life are rushing over me.
It started to hit me on the flight from San Francisco to Munich that I'm now really and truly an expat for the first time in my life. All my other sojourns abroad have had an end date. Not this one!
