San Francisco • Beaches

This isn’t the kind of place I’d normally go to people watch. Norway is more about Nature watching. But I’m not selling the people watching short. The cities are surprisingly cosmopolitan. Norway seems to enjoy a great deal of ethnic diversity, which is surprising to me. I’ve always thought of it as one of the whitest countries on Earth, but they’ve managed to attract people from around the globe to live, work, and tour there. That speaks very highly of this country in my book.
