Norway

We had the most amazing time in Norway. I have some distant cousins that live in Stavanger, Norway and I contacted them and we spent a week or so with them. They were the kindest people we have ever met. They treated us as though we had been friends all of our lives. We did some genealogy work and expanded our family tree. We flew into Oslo, Norway and spent a day there. From there, we rented a car and headed out for Stavanger. We have an old family farm, Seltveidt farm in the Fjords or Norway. They took us out to the farm and showed us around. We then drove back to Oslo where Magne, our distant Norwegian relative, met us and gave us old family belongings from the 1800's. How kind.
