Our time with Jeff and Dori had to come to an end. It was hard to see them go. But it has been wonderful to visit with them. We are leaving on a train to return home and they are going to go on another train to Oslo and then fly home.
The women on a boat we took a tour on. Dori Humphrey, Sister Maxine Humphrey and April Hawkes. Yes it was cold because the wind was blowing.
Bergen is built on several hills and has many old and narrow streets. This is one of the cobble stone streets in Bergen. It is one of the most picturesque cities in Norway and a favorite of tourists, including us.
In one of the suburbs of Bergen is the Fantoft Stave Church. It was originally in Rogaland county but was moved to this area by a business man about a hundred years ago. In 1992 a group of youth burned it down. It has since been rebuilt from drawings and plans that were made during the moving of the original church. The LDS church in Bergen is just down the road from this Stave church. The original Fantoft Stave Church was built in the 1300's. At one time there were over 1,000 stave churches but now there are only 28 in Norway.
This is Maria's church in Bergen. It is the oldest building still in use in Bergen. It was built in about 1550 as a Catholic church. When Norway mostly changed from Catholisim to Lutherns it became a Luthern church.
