Hi :)
At long last here are a few photos from our Norway cruise.
![](http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/Snitz/Images/2024/04/IMG_8275.jpg?v 54108161)
This is Bryggen at night - right next to our hotel. These are old wooden buildings that now house shops, restaurants and bars. There are little walkways between the buildings with more stores tucked in.
![](http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/Snitz/Images/2024/04/IMG_8321.jpg?v 75460697)
Part of our tour included excursions like a trip to Oleana - a knitwear factory. Can you imagine having that view while at work?

We also learned a lot about bunads - the traditional dress from each of the regions in Norway. The little fox is Flam - we bought him for Caroline and he had adventures all through Norway. I'm hoping to make a photo book with a story about our trip.

We had stops in beautiful ports - and learned that houses historically have been painted red and ochre because the paints could be made with plant materials. White paint was expensive so it was a sign of wealth (and some people would paint the visible/front of the house white and the sides and back with red or ochre).

We did get to see the Northern Lights - and they show up much more beautifully through my camera.

The views from the boat were amazing - and I have never seen so much snow,

Here are Jen and I with Flam on our last day of the cruise. We took lots of group photos.

And this is Kate and I with the Trip Around the World quilt I made following her videos. I brought it along on the trip to show it to her.
Hope you enjoyed these :)

Oh Laura, what a wonderful experience, beautiful quilt, and meeting Kate. I love watching Kate’s YT channel. Thank you so much for sharing your adventure. Flam’s storybook sounds exciting, I hope you can share it as well one day. |

Laura, that sounds like so much fun! 6 years ago I was able to visit Norway. It's a very beautiful place. So many neat things to learn. We visited Oslo and Alesund. Not too far from Bryggen.

Thank you, Laura for sharing your pictures. I don’t have a strong desire to travel a lot but I would love to go to Norway. I’m Norwegian (my poor hubby!!) lol. Your quilt is gorgeous! :) |

Thanks y'all - oh how I miss Norway already! It's already so hot here and spending my days crafting with others was so fun. Coming back to real life has been quite the adjustment.
Heather - yes my sister took the photos of the ice hotel rooms so they are on her phone. I'll get those posted today for you.
