I hope this message finds you enjoying a warm transition to spring. I wish to update you on my recent activities and during Easter break.
This past Friday I completed a final examination for my 'Topics in Health Policy' course and now am busy hammering out the details for my research methodology and protocol. Tomorrow I will be visiting the Jessheim Rotary Club, located a short distance northeast of Oslo, to give a presentation.
I enjoyed a cross country ski trip for 4 days in the mountains east of Stavanger for the beginning of Easter break, and visited the city of Stavanger for the second leg of the trip. See photos below.
I wish you all a wonderful week!
Regards,
Dan

My friend, Christoph, and I visited the city of Stavanger for a few days during Easter break. We stayed at the house of another friend, Janne, who is a classmate in my masters program and from Stavanger. Aside from the photos showing our activities below, we also visited the Norwegian Petroleum Museum, which provided insightful and educational information on the history of oil and Norway's relationship with the natural resource.

The three of us, Janne, Christoph and I, took a short day trip south of Stavanger to see the countryside and take a walk along the beach.

Christoph and I took a hike to a popular attraction near Stavanger called Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock). The rocky 3.8 km trail takes approximately 2 hours to climb to the top and leads to an amazing view of the Lysefjord, looking from atop a 604 meter cliff that plunges straight down to the water below. Quite an exhilerating experience, especially with the strong winds we had to deal with atop the cliff plateau that added to the thrill!
