Pretty Pictures

As promised, here are a few photos from our trip to the fjords. The first photo is of a fjord horse at the Sogn folk museum. These horses have a distinctive black stripe in their blonde manes and are even better at navigating steep mountain trails than donkeys. This particular horse was a total ham, posing for pictures and seeming to enjoy all the attention from the tourists! The second picture is of a row of fishing shacks in Walaker, along the Lustrafjord. We tood a ferry from Walaker to Urnes to see the oldest stave church in Norway (circa 1135). The last photo is a view of the Lustrafjord from Urnes. Lots more pictures to come, but now it is time to go to bed--we're off to Oslo tomorrow morning. We plan to see several museums tomorrow, and then we have tickets for the 17th of May celebration on the royal palace grounds. I can't wait!
