Kind strangers and quick lifts

I was just handed 200NOK by a very kind woman who's working for the local at-home nursing service. She simply stopped by to inquire if i'd had any food today, to which I replied honestly that hadn't had much to go on. I reluctantly took the money. I've chosen to go on this trip myself, and I'm already travelling off of the kindness of strangers. Still, 200 will last me four good meals, though the choice of food is rather scarce. There is a roadside diner with a french-sounding name behind me (marché) so in case I get stuck here the rest of the week instead of reaching france, at least i'll have some imitation food..

While I was in the process of writing this, I got a lift from a kind local on his way back from work. He dropped me off in Rygge half an hour further down the road. Here's a shoutout to you Espen, because I know you will be reading.
