Mountains and Glaciers of Joy!

We spent a long weekend in the mountains of central Norway near the town of Lom (pronounced "Loom") exploring a glacier, rock climbing, and hiking. The scenery was spectacular, the people were wonderful (we went with the University of Oslo mountaineering group), and it was exhilerating to exert our muscles and lungs in the alpine air! After a those months at sea, it felt like we were coming home to the mountains.

We'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story for now (see right sidebar).

Also, my friend Mari Flaatrud took some pictures of me (Rachel) on the glacier. You can see them here:
