Vesterålen
Vesterålen is a district and archipelago in Nordland county, Norway. It is located just north of the Lofoten district and archipelago and west of the city of Harstad. It is the northernmost part of Nordland county.
The Old Norse forms of the name were Vestráll and Vestrálar (plural). The first element is vestr which means "west" and the last element is áll which means "(deep and narrow) sound" or "strait". The name describes the seaway west of the island of Hinnøya. The old name of the seaway east of Hinnøya (now called Tjeldsundet) might have been Austráll (meaning "the eastern sound/strait").
Vesterålen consists of the municipalities of Andøy, Bø, Hadsel, Sortland, and Øksnes. According to some definitions, Lødingen is also included. Vesterålen is made up of several islands: Langøya, Andøya, Hadseløya, the western part of Hinnøya, the northern part of Austvågøya and several smaller islands.
The landscape is mountainous, but the mountains have a more rounded shape compared to the mountains in Lofoten. The towns and villages are situated on the coastal brim (Strandflaten) between the mountains and the fjords. There are also several lakes, such as Alsvågvatnet. Møysalen National Park is partly located in Vesterålen. The climate in Vesterålen is maritime, with mild winters considering this archipelago is well north of the arctic circle. In Stokmarknes (Hadsel), January average is −1.8 °C, July 24-hr average is 12.3 °C, year average is 4.3 °C and precipitation is 1,220 millimetres with autumn as the wettest season.
Vesterålen is connected to the mainland and Evenes airport by bridges. It is connected to Lofoten by ferry, although since the opening of the Lofast road in December 2007, Lofoten can also be reached by road.
The coastal steamer Hurtigruten calls at the ports of Stokmarknes, Sortland, and Risøyhamn in Vesterålen. There are two regional airports: Stokmarknes Airport, Skagen for small aircraft, and Andenes Airport on Andøya.
The population in Vesterålen as of 1 January 2004 was 30,648 (Statistisk Sentralbyrå). The largest town is Sortland, but the regional hospital (sykehus) is in nearby Stokmarknes in Hadsel municipality. The Royal Norwegian Air Force has based all its P-3 Orion maritime patrol aircraft at Andøya Air Station, and Andøya Rocket Range is also located at Andøya. The Norwegian Coast Guard has its northern base at Sortland (Kystvaktskvadron Nord).
Fishing, in particular cod fisheries, has always been important in Vesterålen. There is also fish farming, and some agriculture in Vesterålen.

Dinner bar!
The Indians planted manioc and corn, which they used to make dishes and fermented beverages to go with them. The Portuguese brought sardines, codfish, meat stews with vegetables and fine sweets. With the arrival of black slaves, the colonial cuisine was introduced to the malagueta pepper, okra and palm tree oil. Out of this unusual ethnic mix was born Bahia’s cuisine , comprising nearly 50 different dishes. However, a lot of this diversity comes from the African culture and the Candomblé religion. Famous dishes like the Acarajé, Caruru, Mungunzá, and Shrimp Bobó, are recipes adapted from the traditional dishes used in Candomblé rituals.
Since the 16th century, a large number of slaves had been arriving in Bahia from all parts of Africa.. Once they were “sold” in the area where now stands Mercado Modelo, the black women were assigned to work in the kitchens of the houses owned by plantation lords. There they would get familiar with ingredients such as sugar, salt, garlic, lemon, rice, meat and chicken, which were appreciated by the lords’ wives, and also corn and beans, already part of the Indians’ diet. The women, on their part, introduced ginger, manioc and also recipes with peanuts and bananas to the Portuguese. Working day and night in the kitchen, they started adapting the dishes used in Candomblé rituals to the taste of their masters by mixing the available ingredients. According to the researcher Arany Santana, of Casa do Benin, the slaves found out that they could make the dishes tastier by putting palm tree oil on basically everything. This was the origin for dishes like Xinxim de Galinha, Caruru dos ibejis (inspired on the devotion to the Catholic saints, Cosme and Damião). The rest of the oil used to prepare the main courses of the meal, was mixed with manioc flower or with fried bananas.
Using the milky coconut juice, they prepared a variety of sea-food based dishes, such as Ensopados,Moquecas and Escabeche. The sugar cane bagasse was mixed with molasses and Rapadura, in the creation of coconut desserts like Cocada Branca and Preta. The remaining of the Portuguese Stew sauce was mixed with manioc flour to make a mush, which is a traditional Indian dish.
Among the dishes that were adapted from Candomble rituals was the Amalá, which is made with okra slices. It didn’t please the Portuguese masters. So the slaves chopped the okra to bits and added shrimp, peanuts and chestnuts to the recipe, creating the Caruru, which is one of the best-known dishes of the local cuisine. Other recipes created by the slaves were the Haussá Rice (rice and jerked beef mowed together), the Munguzá, used as offering to the Candomblé deity Oxalá (who is the father of all deities, according to the religion) pleased the matrons very much. So did the Bolinhos the Fubá, the Cuscuz (cornmeal) and the Mingau (porridge). According to Arany Santana, the Ipetê (used in the rituals to the deity Oxum) became the Shrimp Bobó (a kind of mush), and the Akará (honoring the deities Xangô and Iansã) became the world-famous Acarajé.

Oslo
Oslo is the capital of and most populous city in Norway. Oslo constitutes a county and a municipality.
Founded around 1000 AD, and established a "kaupstad" or trading place in 1048 by King Harald III, the city was elevated to a bishopric in 1070 and a capital under Haakon V around 1300. Personal unions with Denmark from 1397 to 1523 and again from 1536 to 1814 and with Sweden from 1814 to 1905 reduced its influence. After being destroyed by a fire in 1624, the city was moved closer to Akershus Castle during the reign of King Christian IV and renamed Christiania in his honour. It was established as a municipality (formannskapsdistrikt) on 1 January 1838. Following a spelling reform, it was known as Kristiania from 1877 to 1925, when its original Norwegian name was restored.
Oslo is the economic and governmental centre of Norway. The city is also a hub of Norwegian trade, banking, industry and shipping. It is an important centre for maritime industries and maritime trade in Europe. The city is home to many companies within the maritime sector, some of which are among the world's largest shipping companies, shipbrokers and maritime insurance brokers. Oslo is a pilot city of the Council of Europe and the European Commission intercultural cities programme.
Oslo is considered a global city and ranked "Beta World City" in studies performed by the Globalization and World Cities Study Group and Network in 2008. It was ranked number one in terms of quality of life among European large cities in the European Cities of the Future 2012 report by fDi Magazine. A survey conducted by ECA International in 2011 placed Oslo as the second most expensive city in the world for living expenses after Tokyo. In 2013 Oslo tied with the Australian city of Melbourne as the fourth most expensive city in the world, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU)'s Worldwide Cost of Living study.
As of January 2013 city of Oslo has population of 623,000. Metropolitan area of Oslo has a population of 1,502,604, of whom 951,581 live in the contiguous conurbation. The population currently increases at record rates, making it the fastest growing major city in Europe. This growth stems for the most part from immigration and high birth rates among immigrants, but also from intra-national migration. The immigrant population in the city is growing somewhat faster than the Norwegian population, and in the city proper is now more than 25%.
Population: City: 629,313 - Urban: 951,581 - Metro: 1,502,604 (June 2013)
Coördinates: 59°57′N 10°45′E

Random snaps from our first visit to Codfish Hollow, one of the more unique concert venues anywhere. Music in the barn with local artists, beer and food all around. We saw Ani DiFranco, Pieta Brown and the Righteous Babes. A nice thing about fixing up an old farmhouse in Jackson County is we'll be putting this place in our rotation of things to do.
