Our first big trip of the year, Oslo, Norway. It was the beginning of February and -4 F outside . Snow and ice covered the road as we made the 8.5 hour road trip North. It actually ended up taking us close to 11 hours. A section of road in Northern Sweden had completely disappeared in a mud slide a few months earlier and traffic had to be routed another way. Sometimes trying to follow foreign detour signs can be a little unnerving, especially when the road suddenly ended on the banks of a large river. Before we could decide what to do, we were being motioned to proceed onto an old barge which carried us to the other side. We shuttered to think how much we were going to be charged before they would let us go, but it turned out we were on the right path and this was part of the planned detour.
Our destination was a small village on the outskirts of town, called Skotselv, home of the European Bible School. They were hosting a weekend of youth meetings and LifeStyleTV was asked to cover the event. The keynote speaker was a young Hispanic from BC, Canada named Jeffrey Rosario. He was a lot of fun to direct. He was full of interesting stories and strong spiritual applications. In fact, to hear what he said, click here.
Filming took most of my time, but Roxana and the boys had a lot of fun sledding when they got tired of sitting. The air was so cold, that crystals would form on your eyelashes and the inside of your nose felt like Velcro. Norway is gorgeous any time of year. I would have preferred Summertime, of course, but it was the family's first time and I didn't want to pass up the opportunity. Although the trip home took just as long, I'm still amazed at how well our 1 and 3 year olds did. They're real road warriors!
