The four of us have been up for a few hours now, since day dawned here at The Granary. We’re in what was once probably a barn. Very comfortable but with a challenging spiral staircase! We really enjoyed doing snacks, dessert, and libations last night and tea and fruit bread toast slathered with Irish butter this morning. Now we’re packing up in a bit of Irish rain in preparation for today’s trip to Donegal.
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.
Lovely! We are still unpacking from our cross country T@b trip to Grand Canyon! Maybe you could send some of that rain to Yosemite where a required evacuation and closing of the park is at hand. Just now seeing some fire-fighting progress. Largest fires in the history of California. Send rain!
