1/20: Just leaving Tromsø, heading down to Oslo and looking over a map, wondering what is the best route to the Ambassador’s Residence. We may walk or take a taxi, depending. I will be with Kaare Hague, former Norwegian Consular General to Russia, who is a mentor on my research and for whom I thought the invite might be of interest.
Upcoming on January 21 :
A reception at the American Ambassador’s home on Monday 21 January at 6PM in Oslo. Ambassador Barry White wants to celebrate the inauguration of President Barack Obama. The actual ceremony is in Washington DC that same day at noon (6 hours behind Oslo time). I think the Ambassador’s plan is to invite a few folks over for drinks and to watch the ceremony on television.
It should be fun. If you would like to attend, please let me know sooner than later, so that I can arrange an rsvp — security is tight. I can swing by and pick you up around 5:30PM — or if you prefer, we could meet directly at the embassy.
