Another day of breathtaking scenery! We embarked on an excursion in the company of Ed and Anita and saw Glacier Gardens, some incredible gardens crafted in what had been a mudslide area. From flowers planted in the roots of upside down trees to incredible rainforest views, it was wonderful. So was Mendenhall Glacier in the Tongass National Forest where it was cold and rainy yet it felt like we had too little time. Tried to top the day off with pleasant conversation in Michael’s Club but other guests objected to our conversation while the string quartet played so we accepted their invitation to leave!
Our walking tour through the historic heart of Stavanger gave us insight into the canning and maritime industries that fueled this community as well as some tasty tidbits.
Our short visit to Njardarheimr gave us insight into life in 11th Century Norway and educated us on the role of “Vikings” within the Norse community of the time.
