Here is a link about the 5 locations the Artic Circle goes thru

Why am I attaching those you ask?? Well I will tell you...because I am going to the Northern most point of Norway in July to see this phenomenon I hope.

We will fly out of Houston on July 7th and land in Copenhagen Denmark. We will spend 5 days there sightseeing, and if I get a chance to see my cousin Jens I will look forward to that as well. Then we will fly to Norway, and take a train to the Artic Circle, and spend one night there. Then return to Trondheim on the train and sight see in Trondheim and Oslo Norway, possibly Bergen. The Norway part of the adventure is not locked down yet. In Copenhagen we will stay at a Marriott hotel, and I get my own room for 5 nights .... YEAH!!!

I will be taking a ton of pictures and hopefully I will get them posted. I still have several files of pics from adventures I have taken that I have not posted...so I will try to post them quickly after going.
At first Eva talked about taking a train up to Paris from Ulla and Christians home in Marseilles, but Mike was not interested at all, and Ulla and Christian seem to be overwhelmed with company this summer and did not say do not come, but the email said, I am sure Jens will take good care of you in Denmark. lol

Anyway...I am excited about going to Europe and getting a couple of stamps in my passport. My family history is from Denmark and Norway area so that will be fun as well.
