2014 OUR MAGNIFICENT NORWAY ADVENTURE!!!

Beth and Becky (B2) are going to Norway to join Vikki and Inger (VI) on an exciting exploration of the country. It's a July 2014 adventure and will include boats, road trip, train, planes, walking and swimming. We're hoping for a dog sled ride, too. Birger (married to Inger) has suggested that we are in the midst of a Norwegian Fairy Tale.
