On Sunday we took the train up to Fauske, well above the Arctic Circle, about a 9 hour ride from Trondheim. Trond was here with Hanna, and Aksel visiting his parents, Elsa and Hans-Ole. They were some of the first people to meet Anders when he was born, so it was a treat to be back to visit.
We’ve shared many meals, got the kids out to a sledding hill, and went downtown today to look around and buy a few supplies for the far north. Tomorrow morning we leave for a visit to the snow hotel in Alta. Pictures of that to come on the weekend!
