Yes!

Sissel

This is my souvenir of Norway, a CD by 

Norwegian recording artist, Sissel.

Sweet Suz sent me "Sarah's Song", a lovely tune by Sissel that reminds

me of all the precious little ones who've come into my life

and the "songs" we've shared.

Thanks, sweet sister, 

for knowing this would go straight to my heart!

Enjoy!

Norway Highlights!

Day 1:

After an overnight flight to Oslo, we take the train to Asker

where we are met by these delightful little girls

 who introduce us to the Asker Towne Centre.

 At their home, we are greeted by lots of welcome signs.

 And beautiful sights!

Gwyneth, the artist!

Day 2:
Baerums Verk
The picturesque area of the old Baerum Ironworks is today 
one of Norway's most distinctive and alive centres 
for trade, handicraft and history.

"Why?"

And then...to the beach!

Day 3:
Shopping

 For Weston

 For Sawyer

Day 4:

And, on the way...

Trolls..and bears

YIKES! 

For Caleb

Sheep on the road...

Cottage on the Fjords

 Finding our way...

WOW!

 Way to go, Emily...found on B&B AIR!

 

To the village of Aurland for dinner...

and the books! 

The Guestbook

And, finally...THIS!

Next morning, it's time to go. 
But first, breakfast at the cafe...
at the TOP of the hill!

 Yes!  All the way to the TOP!!

WE DID IT! 

"vi klarte det!"

After our trek back down the mountain, we drove further up

 to this amazing look-out point:

Then Fresh Fish in Flom

For Zack
