Somewhere over the Rainbow Warrior

We decided to shake things up this morning, so instead of our morning walk we drove into downtown Ålesund and hiked up to the observatory.  Well, it wasn't exactly hiking because there are steps, 418 of them to be exact.  It was more like a breathless climb that made me realize I need to do more cardio.  The views from the top were just unbelievable, and we were able to see the Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior docking in Ålesund harbor.  Sometimes I forget what an experience this is for the kids, until today Sam says Come over here, Dad, and get a picture of the Rainbow Warrior. Pretty cool experience for a 4-year-old, and not bad for the rest of us, either.
