by Lourdes Lozano Lauber (Author) Spending a summer in Bergen, Norway can be fantastic. Splendor is seen in every drop of rain and the seven mountains that surround the town. In the fall after this book was written, Lourdes Lozano Lauber returned to Bergen to work at the Rudolf Steinerskole. Days got shorter and she found herself in a world with five hours of sunlight and relentless rain. It was lovely and introspective. Of the contrast of summer with winter she says: "The beauty of Bergen, Norway is inescapable. Each summer waterfalls that in winter are cathedrals of ice melt to make mountain passes lush. Cobblestones soften, the fjord welcomes swimmers. Skis and snowshoes give way to bicycles on Mount Floien and Ulriken. The sweetness of the summer permeates the air and when it shines, the sun makes the world glisten." Falling in love with Bergen in summer is a love affair complete with all the magic and mystery of the first few months after meeting someone who is everything you've ever dreamed of. It becomes a lasting love. Bergen is a Prince that will never lose its charm. Number of Pages: 96 Dimensions: 0.23 x 9 x 6 IN Publication Date: March 06, 2008
