Today’s fun started days ago. There was a trip to H&R Trains down in Florida which started out as a search for a piece for Steve’s vintage model railroad airport beacon but led to the acquisition not only of a vintage American Flyer boxcar but of a lightly used seventy year old AF transformer! Then two days ago there was the opportunity to pick up an almost brand new Apple Watch followed by a trip to Charlotte Street Computers and a fancy new watchband as well as a nice lunch at Bourbon Barrel Beef on the way home. Then at minutes after midnight this morning we scored a spot at üCamp19. Registration started at 00:00 and all spots had been taken by 08:00 this morning. We’re so glad we were silly enough to stay up until midnight to register! Then tonight we ventured in to Sylva to check out The Cut and learned from Kelsey at the bar that they really do make custom cocktails!. We both enjoyed the concoctions that she mixed up for us before heading on to Lulu’s, a Sylva tradition for a delicious birthday dinner.
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.
