Norway Wrap-Up
So, finally getting to my Norway wrap-up.
After the conference ended on Thursday, I walked around Tromso checking things out (about 6 miles, according to my pedometer). In the process, I visited the Polaria (aquarium) where they have Bearded Seals, the Polar Museet (museum), shopped for a few souvenirs, and bumped into conference attendees from other labs who were sight-seeing too. 
The airport taxi arrived at my hotel at 4:20am — entirely too early to be getting up, but the early time afforded me the chance to finally see the Northern Lights. I had been trying to see the Lights the whole time I was there, but it was always too cloudy; on the ride to the airport, the sky opened enough for me to see the faint shades of green over the island. The flights home were long and tiring. I think I started to hit the brick wall somewhere around hour 5 of 9 on the last leg home. I seriously couldn’t get on the ground soon enough at Dulles.
But I’m home now. All in all, it was an adventure.
