It was a cold day in the middle of July…and to celebrate Karen’s birthday we headed first to Maggie’s Galley, a seafood restaurant in Waynesville, then to Graveyard Fields, a great hiking place along the Blue Ridge Parkway. We hiked to the Second Falls and to the Upper Falls and gloried in the beauty of the wild flowers along the way.
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.
