Rose parade

Today I together with two hundred and fifty thousand others went downtown for the rose parade in the memory of those who lost their lives the 22.07.2011. The parade never happened because it was simply too many people, but the arrangement kept going. The Norwegian crown prince, the prime minister, the mayor and several others held speeches. I left before the artists got on stage so that I would actually be able to go home, public transport was packed. The plan was for the parade to go from the city hall to oslo domkirke where everybody would leave their roses, but since that didn’t happen we were told to take our roses with us when we left and put them somewhere in the city so that Oslo would be filled with roses all over. It was beautiful and sad at the same time
