No mail!

So it's already gone past the point where it doesn't seem that there will be any mail today. Irritating, but mostly because we actually haven't gotten any mail at all. Anyway, I thought I'd take the oppertunity to talk a little about where my first search will be.

Now, the place I live at is called Isveien. In english that means "The iceway". The reason for this name is because about a hundred years ago, people used to cut out big chunks of ice from a place called Østenstad-dammen. Which is about a man-made pond about 500 meters wide or so. Anyway, as I said, people used to take ice-blocks out from that pond and drag them down to the shore, about 1 kilometer away. Here they were loaded on to ships, that sent them different places all around the world. The ice itself was used for cooling down food and materials.

What I hope to find is some evidence of this. Bolts, screws, coins and maybe even some equipment used for hacking out the ice (if I'm lucky).

P.S. As I wrote this, the mail actually came, but no luck. There was only bills.
