On Sunday (Thanksgiving), we went on a road trip to visit some small towns outside of Bergen. The first place we visited a small fishing village called Glesvaer. Then we travelled to a small town called telavåg that has an interesting history. We went to the local museum and learned that the town was part of the resistance movement that helped jewish people escape to Great Britain 🇬🇧. They were also smuggling guns and other weapons into Norway to give to the rebels that were fighting in the war. The Germans found out about what was happening and Hitler took all of the people away and pt them in concentration camps that had signs that said : work = freedom. Then the Germans blew up and burned down every single single building in the town. You may be wondering, then how do people live there? Well, they built the entire town back, and it does not like it was even touched! It looks identical to the old pictures. I guess they did a pretty good job at rebuilding it 👏. (See below).

The Canadian coincidence:
With my dads boss, we had dinner and it just happen to be thanks giving, right? Well, we had salmon and salads. Then for dessert 🍨 we had apple pie 😂. So Canadian!
This week we got to explore Norway by Sea. We took a ferry to a few small villages and stopped for the day in a town called Rosendal (rose town) and it is named that because a little out of the town there is the rosenmanner (rose manner) we went to it and smelled every rose we saw. Then went hiking into the mountains and ran into a sheep herder who was blowing a dog whistle, which was controlling the dogs. The herder opened the gate (you can see the sheep behind me where I am standing on a bridge) and all of a sudden we were surrounded by sheep.  The dogs controlled the and moved them across the bridge in to a pen so that they could eat🐑.
