Orsta countryside

---

We had a leisurely morning with Randi & JP before heading out to the country for a visit at Nordicfarms.com. They are a young couple from Mt Vernon who are reviving an old family dairy farm and sawmill once operated by his two bachelor uncles. Jodi grew up on a dairy farm near Bellingham and loves animals. I think JP also showed us every road and street in and around Orsta - quite a variety of scenery, including the Sunnemore Alps and he took Allan to a John Deere dealer in Orsta!

We are slowly heading closer to the airport, spending tonight at Elin &Torbjorn's. Elin escorted us to her brother Leif Inge's for coffee, sandwiches and sweets this evening. They are a lovely couple with a nice home and view across the way from Elin's. This may be the last blog, as we head to Alesund for some shopping, then a night at the Alesund Airport Hotel in preparation for an early departure on Friday. After spending this time with family, it seems like we should just be able to drive home. We are not that far apart.
