That Gulf Stream is what warms Nantucket and England. I hadn't realized it went by Norway too. <BR/><BR/>Have you read Per Petterson's Out Stealing Horses? It's one the best novels I've read and it's set in Norway with a lovely sense of place. I reviewed it (see my sidebar.) I'd love to go to Norway too some day.Sarah Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423008641739156182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975676572078060876.post-28614365419101497882008-08-31T18:16:00.000-04:002008-08-31T18:16:00.000-04:00What a fantastic trip.

Cosmo, I am terribly impressed that you have all the names of the places you visited! I forget them so easily. Thank you for a wonderful tour of a beautiful countryside.<BR/><BR/>gailGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194325535496408116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975676572078060876.post-49256665026766601662008-08-31T10:11:00.000-04:002008-08-31T10:11:00.000-04:00Hi, everyone!

Les, we experienced the other side of the winter darkness--the sun doesn't set until about 11 pm and it rises about 5 am--most hotels have blackout curtains so visitors can get some sleep. There's a great movie called Insomnia (the Norwegian one, not the Al Pacino knock off) about a Danish detective in Norway who can't get any sleep . . .<BR/><BR/>Tina and Rose, those farms on the fjords are amazing--most are tourist places now, though they still function, but in the old days they had to be totally self sustaining. Interesting enough, the thing that got the roads built was the need to get to church--the farmers would have to make the same trip we did in much smaller boats until the roads were set up.<BR/><BR/>PGL, thanks for stopping by! I'm very much an amateur--blogger and gardener--but Les and Jeff are masters! I fogot to tell you about Entangled, too--she's at Tangledbranches.com, and she gardens near Richmond and also I think in Northern VA. So glad to have found your site (and thanks, Tina, for keeping us all connected--I've found gardeners local to me via your blog or Gail's in Tennesee!)Cosmohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14260783700118031314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975676572078060876.post-91438728763182620552008-08-31T09:38:00.000-04:002008-08-31T09:38:00.000-04:00What a beautiful area.

Particularly so to someone who is so used to flat prairies:)<BR/>I am amazed that the climate in this part of Norway is so mild; I would have assumed it would be so much colder in the winter than the Midwest.<BR/>Loved the story about the farmers with the ladders; they wouldn't have been bothered by traveling salesmen either:)<BR/><BR/>Glad you are enjoying your trip!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975676572078060876.post-39273028538897894932008-08-30T20:01:00.000-04:002008-08-30T20:01:00.000-04:00Beautiful story of the area.

The cold that most areas get is bad enough, but add the extra darkness and I would have to self-medicate until spring.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281256160705697856noreply@blogger.com
