Hi All,
After a much needed good night's sleep, we began our day
by touring the famous
Vigeland Park.
This park contains 212 granite statues of humans of all ages.
The tallest is a monolith of some one hundred people all trying
to get to the top. Our visit was shortened by a little rain.
Then we went up the mountain outside
Oslo
to see the Ski Jump that was built for the
1952 Olympics.
We got a very nice view of
Oslo
up there.
Then we did a quick stop at the
Viking Ship Museum
and a castle and fortress. The rest of the afternoon was spent
at leisure walking and shopping on the Carl Johans street. Some
of us checked out the beautiful Dom Cathedral.
We will be going to the
American Lutheran Church
for a concert this evening and playing for a church service
there tomorrow morning.
Everyone is doing well and enjoying
Norway.
I sent 7 pictures which should be on the web page soon.
More later,
Dawn & George
More from the Sumralls...
The
American Lutheran Church
(ALC) served a tasty dinner with a curry soup. After dinner
and a devotional, the bells played for a small, but very
appreciative audience.
Then we went back to the hotel to unwind and pack for
Arendal.
Norway
is interesting, in that it doesn't get dark until after
11:30 PM. So, going to sleep "early" is sometimes difficult.
