A week ago Saturday there were hints of the sun appearing from behind the clouds. I had a birthday also making an appearance soon, and Jan and I grabbed the opportunity to head into Bergen for a couple hours of celebrating and hanging out in Bryggen, followed by a fantastic meal at one of our favorite traditional Norwegian restaurants, Bryggeloftet & Stuene, that “…has an extensive and varied menu offering a wide choice of fish and game dishes based on Norwegian traditions.”

Our conversation while surrounded by the history of Bryggen, and then the perfect meal, was the best way to celebrate the beginning of a new year. And what a year it’s going to be: One of change with two weddings, three new grandbabies … and a move!
Where will we be moving? Stay tuned….

Ah yes, the world’s cheapest restaurant! My friend bought us a meal there as a wedding pressie. Poor bugger died without paying off his debts!!!!
Yes, it’s not a place to go very often, is it? But the perfect choice for a special occasion!
Happy birthday! 🙂 And looking forward to seeing where you’ll move to next…!
Thank you, Linda!
Happy birthday, and best wishes for the busy year ahead!

Cindi you look so well and radiant in the pic. So excited to find out what lies ahead. I had a great time reading about your time in Colorado. I couldn’t get the comment box to open up so I wanted to offer my gratitude for sharing the heart of this old community. I love the vibrant way the modern sculpture sits close to the traditional logos keeping lots of old stories alive, what a brilliant place to be.
Your meal looks beautiful as do the surroundings.
Wishing you a terrific birthday full of fun. Enjoy your day.
Thank you, Lita! It was a wonderful day — the meal, surroundings, and company! 🙂
