I apologiize for the delay in posts. I have had some internet trouble, as well as phone trouble.
My trip to Norway was long and uneventful. Well, ok, almost uneventful. Seattle TSA was murderous to get through – not because of baggage inspection, but because the lines were so long. We switchbacked up and down the terminal several times. There was no standing. It was full speed ahead – with the line moving quickly, at a brisk walk. I was in an area where they were using dogs. They walked up and down the line with a handler before we got to the x-ray machines.
When I finally got to the gate, I had diffficulty buying lunch because all the credit card terminals were not working. I had to go to a restaurant, order food to go, and then take it back to the gate to eat while the rest of the plane was loading.
I slept almost the whole way to Iceland. I woke up for a few moments to glimpse the ice around and over Greenland. It was strange to know some of that ice was over ocean. It was easy to see the difference between the clouds and ice. The clouds were white; the ice was intense white. Little ice crystals formed on the outside window beside my seat.
After a short layover in Reykjavic in Iceland and a little vanilla yogurt, I was back on plane. The yogurt was interesting. Although it was sweet, it was not overly sweet, unlike American yogurt.
After 2 more hours, trying to crochet a little on the shawl I started (and getting nowhere), I caught my first glimpse of Norway. It’s a lot like where we live.
Family picked me up at the airport.
I’m just about wiped out here. It’s been a busy day.
Ha det!
