We awakened to a task to which we are not accustomed, we had to scrape snow off the windshield. Spent the morning lingering over breakfast and shopping for shoes warmer than what we needed in Florida. Spent the afternoon and evening in the warmth of Dave & Rhonda’s home. The warmest welcome of all may have been from our delightful granddaughter, Riley!
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.
Me thinks you need to get a proper ice scraper for the car. The credit card solution only works for those once-in-a-decade Florida frosts. 😉
