Celebrating Constitution Day (May 17th) in Oslo, Norway. Witnessed one of the coolest (and longest) parades in the world and found the festivities truly touching. Honestly, everyone needs to visit Norway just to witness a national holiday done right.

Here is our young and small band in Hjelset ready for the parade last year

I wish you all a Happy 17 May. I know I will have a great day, as I will do as I have done most 17 Mays; Play in the band for the parade.
