Our king Harald, who was a young boy back then,frequently visited the air base.<br />I think Harald always has been a great representative for his people and also totally identify with them. Both he and the queen are always dressed like the athletes when they are watching the Olympics. <br /><br />I think they are great.Felisol https://www.blogger.com/profile/12240191154632603841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37174210.post-9291874041836453842010-03-15T01:32:34.309+00:002010-03-15T01:32:34.309+00:00you Norwegian ladies are so beautiful ... both ins...you Norwegian ladies are so beautiful ... both inside and out ... :o) ... great story on your friend ...<br /><br />and your King & Queen were here in Canada for the olympics ... their english is really excellent and your King said he was quite familiar with Canada, having even spent some extended time here ... very sweet sounding couple ...<br /><br />blessings on your week!Saijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988592547620469909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37174210.post-66602634945227012222010-03-13T12:13:11.656+00:002010-03-13T12:13:11.656+00:00What a wonderful post about your dear friend.
