We left Little Rock this morning and headed east on I-40. We just crossed the mighty Mississippi at Memphis with hardly a thought. It’s so easy in this era of interstate travel to take for granted safe passage across big bodies of water. It hasn’t always been so. Instead we can pause and be grateful for the engineering technology that allows us to blithely pass from Arkansas into Tennessee. Thank you, civil engineers, for improving our travel options!
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.
