Our plans to explore Rachel and Greg’s neighborhood on foot was thwarted today by rain. We tried to venture out but our planned long walk turned into a walk around the block. Fortunately the rain slowed to a drizzle later in time for us to make our way to Harvard Square to meet G&R. We four had a delicious dinner then went to First Church to hear Paul Farmer, founder of Partners in Health, talk about ongoing issues in Haiti.
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.
