Well, we made it back to the good old USA. We had a very warm welcome from the friendly customs staff and the concrete-industrial structure that is the Orlando International Airport.
Let's take a moment and compare the Airport in Oslo, Norway to the Airport in Orlando, Florida.

All the palm trees in the world couldn't help this airport look better or feel more welcoming. I thought Orlando was home to the "Happiest Place on Earth". This place did not feel very happy. Oslo, on the other hand, featured rich woods and clean architecture. It looked very modern and exotic for an airport. For those that remember, we started our journey in Oslo as well. It was exciting to begin and end there.
Now we are back in Portland, apartment and job hunting and trying to figure out what's next. When you have a life changing experience like this - selling all your belongings, traveling and living in different cultures - it's hard to come back to your old, normal life. We want a new life and don't want to fall into the same old habits as before. We want to live more simply and live a healthier lifestyle. We don't want to get wrapped up in American consumerism. How do we do that?
Right now, honestly, I'm not sure. But I'm working to figure it out. If you have any advice, I'd love to hear it.
In the mean time, enjoy some beautiful photos of the adventure!
