So much to do in Norway!

Dear Nick,

I have loved every minute of this trip.  Yesterday we went to see the Arctic Cathedral.  Isn't it pretty?

But today...oh, wow! We went reindeer sledding!

 



I met a Sami and later got to go in a real lavvu. The Sami are the only indigenous people to Scandanavia.  Herding reindeer is something they have been doing for a long, long time. A lavvu is like a tippee. The Sami use it as a temporary shelter like you might use a tent when you go camping.







 

This is a lavvu...

I hope you are enjoying the pictures!


Bear hugs,
