Whirlwind

So much has happened since I last wrote. It will take me a couple of post to catch you up.

I can only write for a few minutes right now; however, I will post as much as possible today. So part one: I told you about part of Lillehammer and the Gjovik region. So beautiful. Also discovered Saturday that I had no warm saocks and my feet were freezing. So Sunday morning I needed to buy some socks. In Norway everything - and I mean everything is closed - so no socks. We took the bus on Sunday to Hjerkinn (pronounced "Yerkin"). However, they had to work on the track so we took the train to Dombas and then bussed to Hjerkinn. LONG trip. My friend Bente met us there and took us on a Muskox safari. Sadly we didn't find any. We did find a reindeer at a Lapp Camp (Sami camp) it was tame but we took pictures anyway. (I will post them later.) We went to Bente's house and had a wonderful traditional meal with her family and then crashed into bed. I'll tell you more shortly.

Klem fra Maria!
