Short text, more pictures is how this post is gonna be. The 17th of May celebrates when Norway got their own constitution on May 17th 1814. It is not their independence day, because shortly after the aforementioned date they went into a union with/under Sweden. Their independence day came in 1905 when they became a sovereign nation and got their own king. My pictures are from Oslo where we spend 17.mai this year. p.s. we saw a lot of Peruvian flute bands.
In this picture (which is hard to see), there is the Royal Family. On the right side, between the two columns, there is the crown prince Haakon, behind him is his wife Mette-Marit, and to their left, and our right, are the king and queen, Harald V and Sonja.
haha! peruvian flute bands! that's hilarious
