We've seen lots of waterfalls, big lakes (fjords), interesting places here in Norway.  One day we were on three trains, four busses and a boat seeing the beautiful scenery.

There is lots of daylight - we are so near the north pole that there is little darkness.  The sun doesn't go down 'til about 10:30 PM.  We are with a real nice group for three weeks – people from all over U.S.  Do say "Hello" to your Mother & Dad.  Hope to see you in CALIFORNIA.  Love, Grandma & G'Dad
