Stuck in Norway

I was optimistic that the volcanoes that erupted on Thursday in Iceland would not affect my travels, but when I went on line today it appears my flight has been canceled. My flight originally was on Monday, but the next available flight is on Saturday so I have 5 more days in Oslo.

I could think of worse places to stay, but at the same time, I am not looking forward to spending 5 more days in the most expensive city I am pretty sure in the world.

It was a pretty surreal moment to find myself in one minute thinking about what I will do when I get back to Texas, to the next minute of deciding how I would spend 5 more days in Oslo. I tried looking up bus or trains to get out of Norway, but since there have been 5 days of European flight canceled everything is pretty much booked at this point. I am grateful for the many friends I have in Norway that have offered a place for me to stay.
