So glad that Gary posted a picture of the viking ships. They're truly impressive, and look as if they could be seaworthy today. Notice the size of the people in the picture compared to the ship. These ships make you feel very small when you're standing next to them, and they're covered with all kinds of surprising carvings and details, like a little dragon carved on a rudder or sea monsters coiling up the prow.

We've moved from Kongsvinger to our next city, Gjovik. Yesterday it was snowy and cloudy, but today the snow has stopped and the sun is out-beautiful. I just finished breakfast, and I've already seen a few people out enjoying the nice weather.

Thanks to our friends in Kongsvinger for a wonderful introduction to Norway! We're looking forward to the next step in our journey.
