Jeff and Dori's visit

When Jeff and Dori arrived they had brought with them a suit case full of goodies for us: cake mixes, mac and cheese, aspirin (which you can not buy in Norway) and other goodies. 48 pounds of goodies! With an empty suitcase they then could buy souvenirs and have a place to put them to carry home.
We took them to Knapphus to see the memory marker.
A short drive from our home to an island named Karmøy you can find a sandy beach. This is the first sandy beach we have seen in Norway. Mostly the beaches are rocky, like just before the sand in this photo. It was a cold windy day so no one is at the beach but us and Jeff and Dori. They were off looking for sea shells.
Because our visitors did not have much time in Norway and they wanted to see as much as possible they scheduled two days in Bergen, a three hour drive up the coast from us. Our mission president gave us permission to travel to Bergen with them. Here we are in front of a fountain in the town square.
While in Bergen we bought two two liter cartons of ice cream and had an ice cream bust in our hotel room. Notice the portions on the plates. Jeff ate everything on his plate, and so did Dori.
