American here, but half of me is Norwegian & I cherish it. (The other half is mutt. LOL) My mom & her family came to America when she was only 2 years old. She was born in Bergen & spent her first years in the little town of Os. I LOVE it there. So beautiful & friendly. Was just there for the first time in 20+ years this past July. 9 days spent in Oslo & the Bergen area. I was so sad to leave - to the point that I was wondering if I could convince my husband to move there. LOL But, uh, once he saw the picture taken from my tante's house with a glacier in the background, my battle was lost.
I've never been to Sweden & only have been in Iceland for a layover to Norway. My cousin & her family now live in Stavanger because her husband is Army and they were fortunate to have his bid accepted for that station. I'm living vicariously through her now!
