We arrived at the Oslo Central train station around 3PM. We then checked into the Hotel Børsparken once again and settled in. Oddvar and Solveig were to pick us up at 5PM. We would be meeting with Bjørn Nordnes, the son of Bjarne Nordnes who is the son of Benjamin Nordnes, brother of Ole Andreas and Hans (are you still with me?). If you're not glassy-eyed by now, you have surmised that Bjørn, Oddvar, Astrid and I are SECOND COUSINS! This was truly an unexpected event for me. Without telling me what he was planning, Oddvar had contacted Bjørn and had asked him to join us for dinner at this lovely restaurant that overlooks all of Oslo. It was a spectacularly delightful dinner! I sat next to Bjørn and really enjoyed talking with him all evening. I hope that all of us will stay in close touch.
