May 15: Downtown Shopping Date

Nora and I had a downtown shopping date, a beautiful day for getting some summer clothes. It was in the 70s for a few days and felt like summer!

Nora is committed to gathering “russkort.” The graduating students spend the month of May as “russ,” with different colors for different types of high schools. They wear norsk-themed overalls with their russ color and make up silly business cards that little kids collect. They also party a lot–that’s kind of the whole point. Fun tradition, and motivates Nora to speak some norsk!
