Utdeling av medalje - Washington D.C., 15. juni-2012

Putting on a bunad is a lot of work and often requires more than one person!
Å ta på seg en bunad er litt av en jobb, og krever ofte mer enn en person!

Waiting for the taxi to take us to the Norwegian embassy. Meanwhile, Liam was catching up on world news....

Arriving at the embassy

The ambassador gave a little speech before he fastened the medal.

Congratulations are in order....

....and an explanation of the award necessary.
