Tvaddehæg

No one in my class seems to know what tvaddehæg means. It is a local word that seems to represent the weekend market that is happening in Rauland right now. There are booths outside with everything from traditional silver to pea soup to elgsnæks (that's moose jerkey). The invited the students from the university to come play, so of course we were there too!

Stine and I were the first brave souls to arrive. In case you didn't read the last post, it is really cold around here. Almost too cold to play outside. The organizer found us a mildly sheltered spot next to a couple of very friendly llamas. We played for about half an hour until our fingers were about to fall off. During that half hour we talked with some locals, were interviewed by the local newspaper, and received a variety of looks from the townspeople.
