... 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.

Then we went back to our cabins, talked for a little while, then went to bed. In the morning we met for breakfast. Then we started our brainstorming for a presentation for the Rotarians. We brainstormed in many ways for quite a while. When we finally had our program selected it went like this. The stage ...

... Never having climbed a glacier, we weren't too sure as to what to expect, though fortunately we were in the capable hands of Toby's cabin-mate Ola and the guide Tobern (not sure of the spelling, I'm almost sure it's wrong) and his brother Seimen (again, not sure of the spelling, though we did get a chuckle out of the name...). The day was incredible. Hiking on the glacier, jumping over chasms and rappelling down into the crevasses - it was unforgettable. The ...

... stayed on and the train travel back to our starting point at Voss. Amanda again had to fend off passengers away from our carriage. We got to see the lady in red again. I figured she had to appear every 20 minutes to dance for the tourists. I hope she doesn't catch hypothermia. Our train traveled back to Flam. With the train part of this tour completed, we board a cruise from Flam to Leikanger. The cruise passed the signature Norwegian fjord ...

... it in during my long travel time. I got to the counter at DCA on Tues to check into my flight, and the ticket lady types furiously for about thirty seconds. She stops, looks up and smiles. "Ticket please?" I didn't have a ticket. Only then did I remember that I was issued paper tickets for this trip.
