Even as the flood of 2015 was occurring on Christmas Eve, just hours after we had departed for New Orleans, we were acutely aware of the damage to the road along side Tween Creeks. When neighbors arrived with pizza our first night back, they regaled us with tales of the flood and the extreme road damage as well as apprised us of the efforts to mitigate the damage. Even now road work is underway to bring our road up to standard.
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.
Hopefully your property didn’t suffer any damage in your absence. Happy Spring!
Other than the fact that the road coming up to our house was turned into a raging river by torrential rains in the wee small hours of Christmas Eve, we’re in good shape. Our neighbors had to deal with a road that was initially impassable then barely so but with the commencement of professional road repair, we’re now pretty much back to normal.
