After a month of pedal-powered skiing adventure in a truly fascinating corner of the earth, we are all back home in Vermont again–safe and sound. To the wonderful country of Norway, the weather gods and the many new friends we made along the way: We cannot thank you enough for the abundance of unforgettable experiences you provided us. So “Tusen takk!” once again. Also, this trip would not have been possible without the great support of so many others along the way (see list below)–Tusen takk! to all of you as well.
Keeping up with the car-free lifestyle that we’ve been living for over a month, we have yet to visit the grocery store since we returned to Vermont. Rather, we’ve been feasting on garden greens, some freezer goodies and plenty of stokfisk (dried cod–it tastes much better than it smells!), rugbrod (rye bread) and Gudbrandsdalsost (a yummy sweet brown cheese) that we carried home with us.
Settling back into life here in Vermont, it will take us some time to sort through and begin sharing some of the images and video we captured. Thanks for your patience, and please stay tuned. In the meantime, we’re investing some good time in our gardens, swimming more than usual for this time of year, tending to some other project deadlines and savoring so many great moments from the trip, while they are still fresh in our minds.
Here are a few of those moments, brought to life through our photos…
