Entertainment at dinner, songs sung in traditional Norwegian.
Preparing to present!
The beautiful table set up for our Rotary dinner presentation tonight in Einsvold.
Our fearless leader was tired waiting for luggage in Oslo.
Our team getting a bite to eat at Dulles before we boarded our flight to Copenhagen.
Well, we arrived in Norway at about 7:30 this morning (1:30am in your time back at home). The plane ride over the Atlantic was smooth, but it was certainly strange seeing the sun go down at 8:30ish only to see it come back up 4 hours later. Let's just say we are all exhausted and still confused as to what time it really is. We were warmly welcomed by local Rotarians and served lunch and given an overview of our week in Einsvold and Oslo by our gracious hosts. Then the team split up and we were taken to our individual host homes, where we got to unpack, and catch a few zzzzzz's, as we had to give our first presentation to the Einsvold Rotary club later this evening. At the meeting, we were served a pleasant meal and a great dessert. The presentation was a success and great fellowship was had by all. We are excited for the plans for the rest of the week and are looking forward to many memorable moments! Pictures soon to follow.
