Laura has welcomed me to her lovely apartment with a view of the Tromso harbor and mountains...she lives high on a hill not far from the university where she teaches. It's hard to believe how far north in the arctic we are located here. We went for a walk and today I am exploring the center of town, visiting Perspektivet Museum , with its great photo shows on the last days of the arctic in Greenland and Iceland, and another interesting exhibit on the Norwegian author Cora Sandel, who is famous for a trilogy of novels based on a character named Alberta, written between the two world wars.One more day here to do research at the Sami Centre, then off to Riddu Riddu http://www.riddu.no/day-to-day-program.190273.en.html
