"Sleep in the Woods"

This weekend, I joined a group of international students from the University for a night's stay at the Student Hut in Nordmarka, the extensive forest surrounding Oslo. The weather was overcast and was the perfect hiking temperature.

We hiked the six kilometers to Ullevalseter, then took a break for lunch. This is a very popular hut on the weekends, and lots of folks flee here from the city to enjoy a waffle and a cup of hot coffee before the pleasant hike back.

The student hut sleeps up to 60 people, and is outfitted with a electricity, running water, restrooms, a full kitchen, fireplace, comfortable couches, a dining area, and a sauna!

The afternoon was quite enjoyable- lots of food, tea, and card games. Phase 10 was a hit, of course!

A big thanks to the Special Events Program for hosting the outing!
