Hiking is Fun

Which is good, because most of the time there's not a whole lot else to do in Hamar. I pretty much walked in the same area twice last week for a few hours each time, so that was fun. This is also important to do, because exercise does not come naturally in the course of my normal life in Hamar. I don't know what it is, but back in the States I feel like I just randomly end up doing physically active things at least on occasion. In Norway that hasn't really been the case. So hiking's been a good thing in that when I do go outside at least it's for a long time and I feel like I'm not completely the laziest person of all time. And I shouldn't really put that much emphasis on hiking, but more on walking when we travel places. Copenhagen is one example, but there was also a lot of walking involved in our Northern excursion and when Hamar was still new and unfamiliar there was a lot of walking then too. I'm a little worried that when it actually gets cold around here I won't ever leave the apartment, but I guess I'll just have to make an effort to go out and ice fish or something. I don't know. But for now, hiking's still a good pasttime and I could always pump up my bike tires and see how far this trail I found goes around the lake. Sorry the travelogue was more of a bore-alogue today, but there will be plenty in about 2 weeks when I return from Europe. Just a preview: Berlin, Munich, Salzburg, Bern, Brussels, Amsterdam.
