I Heart Bergen

Bergen is beautiful.

The town isn't half bad either.


Early Tuesday morning, we set off on the Norway in a Nutshell tour with District 2260 Governor Aage Bjor and his wife, Astrid. It was an incredible journey: in a single day, we traveled across Norway by two trains, one boat, one bus, and yet another train.

We could devote an entire blog to praising the Norwegian landscape, but it defies description. I will even go so far as to say that I have yet to see a single photograph -- professional or not -- that does it justice. Still, what's the fun of being in the most beautiful place in the world if you can't rub it in with a few pictures from time to time?


And everything we heard about Bergen is true. It is an altogether charming town. With its buildings painted in various pastel hues, winding streets, and fisherman's wharf, it reminded all of us of a different American city.

Tusen takk, Governor Bjor, for a fantastic trip.
