Long layovers in airports aren’t so bad. When you’re traveling on vacation, they can seem like benches and hallways of eternal waiting and discomfort (no math class comments here kiddos). When you’re traveling for reasons other than lounging on the beach, they are not a bad way to spend a day just taking it all in. It's all about the mindset.

Sometimes there are scary things you just need to accept, like mass exports of yankees hats (foreground in image below) or changing all of your hard earned american dollars into currency that is colorful or has holes in it (background below: Currency Exchange). Time to load up on some Norwegian Krones…the current rate is 1 Dollar = 7.75 Norwegian Krone.
Finally, it is just a fact that you are going to eat airport food at some point and you might as well because it whets your appetite to embrace foods from cultures that are foreign to your delicate Maine palette. This leads us to today’s literary/historical quotes portion of the blog.
