Top Ten Time!

August 18, 2004

Well kids, it's that time again...yeah, I know. I'm sure you just skim

through and think " Lord Tory is a geek " but so what. I'm still sending it!

This is my top ten, the European Version

These are top ten things that happened on our trip to Norway and England. We

had a GREAT time, for the most part.

10. Eating shrimp and smoked salmon sandwiches at the fishmarket in Bergen.

9. Running along the site of Hadrian's Wall, a wall that was erected in the

122 AD to mark the northernmost boundary of Roman Britain. We ran along

there twice; a 3.5 mile run and an 8 mile run. Additional blessing, Roy ran

with me on every single run this vacation. It was so neat to be running with

my honey in Europe.

8. Hiking three mountains in Bergen with , Roy's cousin's husband. The

scenery was breathtaking and the company was fine!

7. Smorgasbord with Roy's family on our second night. It was so neat getting

to know everyone and talking with them.

6. We visited Alnwick Castle in England and saw some spectacular sites. The

gardens were beautiful and amazing. What incredible history!

5. I've been pining for them for years, and finally I got a chance to see

the fjords. Wow. That's all I can say. If you ever get the chance to go to

Europe and travel around, to NOT miss the fjords.

4. England has fresh fruits and vegetables and you can buy them and eat them

and it's WONDERFUL! I have never ever ever been so happy to see a salad in

my life!

3. We took a " cruise " from Norway to England and had a nice, relaxing time

on the boat. There is nothing more beautiful than watching a sunset from the

back of a ship. Bonus! We got up early and watched the sunrise from the same

boat!

2. One morning we got up at 5 a.m. and ran from Gravdal into Bergen, around

town, along the waterfront, and then into the center of town for a total of

ten miles. It was SO cool watching the city wake up.

1. Our European adventure has led us to start pre-planning a " Let's pretend

we're 19 again and backpack around Europe " trip, which we plan to take in a

couple of years!
