Sailing Sounds
Here's a cruise clip of horns blowing as ships met. The ringing bell followed by a sightseeing announcement (this one in Norwegian) typified our travel through the dramatic Geiranger Fjord.
We'll fly into Bergen, take the Hurtigruten ship up the coast to Trondheim, drive northeast of Levanger to Verdal, return to Trondheim, catch the train to Lillehammer, meet my host parents who will take us by minibus southeast of Kongsvinger to their lake cabin near the Swedish border for a few days and finally travel to Oslo before heading back to Minnesota.
I grew up on a central-MN farm. My sixth-grade teacher instilled in me a passion for writing. Reporting home on life in Norway as a high-school Rotary exchange student launched my interest in pursuing a B.A. in journalism followed by newspaper reporting, accounting work, stay-home parenting three sons and freelance writing.
