Buildings and boys

When we went to see Sister Skoie we stayed over night in a neighboring city, Kristiansand. Both this city and the city that she lives in are on the extreme southern coast of Norway. Kristiansand has some elegently painted buildings in the downtown area. This is one of them.
And another. Both of these building were probably built in the late 1800's.
A former bank has been turned into a McDonalds in Kristiansand. We thought it looked so elegent that we had to take a picture of it. It looks like what we thought was a Wall Street institution.
Speaking of McDonalds, we took two of the boys in our Primary to Mcdonalds because it was their birthday's that week. Johannes Hiltunen turned 5 and Lars Henrik Steinsvik turned 7. They had a ball and so did we. We don't go to McDonalds very often. Not because we wouldn't like the taste of the food, but because it costs about twenty dollars for a happy meal. So you can see it is expensive, as is everything in Norway.
The main church in Kristiansand, or as the Norwegians say, Dome kirke.
