We had gotten married in Norway earlier in Norway in 2013 in a small ceremony. The April celebration in Costa Rica was organized as a fun evening with lots of dancing and happy friends and family. It turned out that way with Bjørn breaking any possible myth that Scandinavians are stiff and do not dance! In fact he danced more than everyone else at the party - and he has rhythm in case you are imagining the kind of robotic dancing that we in Latin America think of whenever we imagine - according to stereotype - agitated Northern Europeans on the dance floor!
Here is a view from the hotel where we had the party. This is the Atlantic, near the national park Manuel Antonio.
In May, the highlight was the 17th of May celebration of Norway's Independence. It is arguably Norway's happiest day. They do impossibly tasty cakes, they have champagne all day and a majority of women and many men wear their national costumes.
