pics from Atlantic Road excursion

Atlantic Road's highest bridge, accomodates sail boat masts.

Hitra Island, ironically enough it has served as a place for excecutions, a monastery and a prison...

Wait we passed it already. Can we go back!

Our dinner mates.
The caption could read something like: "An American, a Mexican, two Russians and a Korean walk into a restaurant...."


Ship hung in the church, like all churches from that time.  Symbolizes the journey from death to life.

Stave church ... built without nails, it's all in the architecture

This is the bacalao ... it is a salted dried fish which is then cooked in a "guisado" if you live in Mexico, or here it was cooked with a tomato type sauce with potatoes and other ingredients.  Very good.

Sod roof.  A tar goes down first, then birch bark, then soil, then plants.  Terrific for insulating their dwellings.

Fjord scenery
