We celebrated America's birthday with a spectacular morning cruise on the Geirangerfjord.  It's not a huge fjord compared to some others, but the steep mountain cliffs rising straight out of the water provide for dramatic and unforgettable scenery.  Add to that the deep teal hue of the water and waterfalls everywhere, and we were instantly smitten.

​This is a popular destination for foreigners and Norwegians alike, and because it takes more effort to get here, it's quite a bit calmer than the Sognefjord.  Many natives choose to rent cabins or camp nearby, and others just enjoy a beautiful day drive in their fancy cars.  A Porsche caravan with 20+ cars came through town when we were there.

Here are some shots from the boat.

After the fjord cruise, Hirsh enjoyed a four hour hike to another waterfall, where he met these cute Lucys (we affectionately refer to every goat as "Lucy" after our beloved dog who eerily resembled a goat in her old age).

And then we rested 😴

A very scenic boat ride and beautiful water falls. Norway has so much natural beauty. On Monday it was one week of your adventurous trip and you look pretty refreshed. No ER shifts and Hirsh is no more sleep deprived!! Enjoy this previlage.
Sarah, did you find any other mashed potatoes dispensing machine in Norway? It is amusing technology. Also you must be very happy with the fresh catch of the sea food whenever you can get it.
4th of July weekend was fun here. We have sent some pictures to both of you. From tomorrow, Mihir' s wedding festivities will start and we will miss you. Love you both and take care and enjoy.
