We made it back in Cincinnati after nearly three months and more than 16,000 miles. With Aunt Mary we visited Karen’s Aunt Nell in the morning, then had lunch and visited with Steve’s Uncle Neil and Aunt Vi before heading to Dayton to spend the evening and have a delightful dinner with Steve’s cousins Tom & Kathy and their son Paul.
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.
A stop at Ålesund at the entrance to Geiranger Fjord gave us a glimpse into life in and the history of a coastal city in Norway.
It was great to visit to visit with you here in Dayton. We enjoyed seeing all the pics from your trip – makes us want to visit some of those places where we haven’t been yet. Say hi to David and Rhonda for us. Have a safe journey to NC.
Tom & Kathy
Karen and Steve,
Happy Thanksgiving!
Wonderful to see you Monday and introduce you to “Christopher’s” bread pudding.
Your travel log was wonderful…send us a copy of the Grand Teton/Jackson Lake pic…I’d love to make it my computer wallpaper.
Can’t wait to train out in June and go to Moab and Canyonlands.
Someday you guys us and the Canadian Rockies….
Safe home…
Much Love,
Kathy
