Cecille

 Then my old friend Cecille came to visit me in July

 And took the opportunity to go paragliding from one of our mountains

 Running off the mountain with her tandem partner

 And flying off into the horizon

Or the forest, or the sea.

This year, I've known Cecille half my life - I got to know her when we started the same school, in the same group, and took the same school bus, when I was thirteen. From now on, I will have known her more than half my lifetime, which is pretty fantastic. She now lives in Copenhagen, but came back to Tromsø to visit me, and even though she only stayed here five days, it felt like a lot more, and we did lots of nice, fun, and slightly exhilarating stuff.

Red Cross Youth Camp

 I was there

 With my friends Jonas and Edward, and upcoming delegate Ida

And my Red Cross Youth accomplice Dasha

Inbetween homecoming seminars and going back to Tromsø to attend weddings and the youth camp, I managed to hold on to my head cold a full four weeks, and they sent me home from the camp after I'd been there one day. Anyway, it was nice to be back in Norway, working with "my" Red Cross and seeing all the other delegates again.
