Be sure to bring with you a parent permission form for this time travel field trip. We will begin to trek accross Scandinavia. Our mission is to find ways that the vikings helped this culture.

Get those sources out students! Blog me as fast as you can. I need to know how to help the villagers prepare. We have been to the castle, but many want to go home to check on their livestock. What should I tell them? Please work in your small groups and brainstorm ideas to propose plans for their self defense. You will need to use your creativity! Each group leader needs to blog me with their proposals as soon as possible!

This is so exciting! However the villagers tell us that we need to stay within the village for the next few days as there is talk of Vikings in the area! We are really regretting the fact that we did not take more time to learn about the norwegian viking group and what they could do!

We celebrated our fiftieth wedding anniversary with a trip with our daughter and her husband. This was in July 2006. We visited Austria first nice, and then Slidre, Norway.

... ride was just ok for us. We really enjoyed the view of the fjords from a hiking level, like Priekestolen. However, if you want to see the fjords really quick, then, this will be your best bet. The views are nice and scenic. Just remember to wear warm clothes because the ride is 2 hours and it gets super chilly on the ferry deck. From Flam, we took the ...

... for supper as they were hosting a wedding there that evening. We got settled and changed. Then we headed up to Fagernes which looked like a pretty big town. We drove around and finally found a restaurant that was open. we went in and found that they were already out of many items on the menu.

... that in my frantic packing stage, I neglected to take a peek at the exchange rate. I had absolutely no idea how much money I would need for my trip. I picked 3000--since that was in the middle--which I later learned was about $425. Next, I headed off to the pay phones to call the guy I'm supposed to meet. The good thing about Norway is that all the pay phones take credit cards. The bad thing is that the instructions are in Norwegian. They had some picture instructions which looked ...
