... did do and leave behind some very valuable contributions to European culture. We will research what these contributions were. I think we will find that there were skills they left behind as well as cultural contributions. I can't wait to get started! BLOG ME with your RSVP so I know who I will pick up in the morning.

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. In Norway we visited my ancestral farm, the Nesja farm in Slidre. The present owner Oyvind Nesja and his family were very gracious. They wined and dined us and showed all the sights.

I have included some videos. On Sunday I skied to the top of one of the Geilo ski hills while ...

... the person we were staying with. So we walked around a bit in front of the building (there really was only one main building - the hotel - in the village) and in it, though couldn't find Toby. Tania and I then "rock-paper-scissored" as to who was going to try and ask the front desk if they knew "Toby" and where we could we find him. I lost, I asked, they looked at me strangely, then gave him a call! Within about 5 minutes Toby came bounding in to the hotel in his ...

... be cheaper in Sweden. We boarded the train at 10 past noon. The first benefit of joining a tour became apparent today as our group has a carriage reserved exclusively for us. This means that we have the best seats. Our guide had a busy time keeping people off our carriage. The Flam Line is a masterpiece of railway engineering. It goes up the steep and narrow mountain valley through numerous waterfalls and steep mountainsides plunging from a ...

... hours. I was told that I had to go to dinner, even though it was 23:00 local time. The funniest thing about dinner was that everyone was really nice, and they would come up to me and say "versk dooobie skill eskt ooobert." My standard reply (in English) was "I don't speak Norwegian." The response I got was 100% identical no matter who I was talking to. "Oh.. you must be Brian!"
