“N” is one of my super easy posts because I get to refer you to a wonderful travel blog called Girls Trek Too from author/blogger Cara Lopez Lee, author of They Only Eat Their Husbands.
My guest post (with photos) is called Older Gals Trek Too: Discovering My Norwegian Homeland. In 1998 I took a solo trip to Norway, visited my mother’s cousins, and then took off alone to explore the land of my ancestors by train and ferry. It was the trip of a lifetime, and I did it when I was 56 years old.
I hope you have a great weekend.
That trip sounds wonderful, Patricia. I’ve never been to anywhere in Scandinavia.
That sounds like an awesome trip. My grandpa’s family comes from Norway. I hope I can get there someday. Have a great weekend.
Mary — I’ll check out your “A” post. I’ve missed so many good posts because of the large number of folks participating in A to Z.
Hi Medeia. Thanks for stopping by. You’ll like Cara’s blog.
Hi Monti — Katie says thank you.
Norway sounds like an outstanding destination. Doubt that I’ll make it there but I very much enjoyed reading about your trip!
Love the photo of Katie Kitten!

I’d love to visit one day. I’ll check out the link. Have a great weekend.
That is marvelous. I’ll go read that article. I also have roots in Norway and my family has traveled back to the “homeland” several times. I wrote a bit about it on A day, telling the story of our family name. My brother guest posted.
Good morning, April. I hope you enjoy the post on Cara’s blog. It was fun to sift through my photos again and choose which ones to use.
Yvonne, maybe someday you’ll visit Colorado. I sure hope you’ll let me know if that happens. It would be great to meet you in person.
Hi Margot — I have not read the Harry Hole series so I’ll have to check it out. I was only in Oslo one night, but would love to go back for a longer stay.
Very nice post…off to check out your adventure!
Pat – An excellent choice! Your post made me think of Jo Nesbø’s Harry Hole series, which takes place in Oslo. I’ve never been there, but I’d love to go…
What a way to travel solo, though I began travelling when I was about 55 when I discovered I could go on a plane and not feel afraid but it was only domestic flights, as the years went on I began to get more adventuresome I went to Spain for my son’s wedding. Sine then have been to the US 3 times.
Enjoy your week-end.
Yvonne.
