Lillehammer - June 16, 2007 By Christian

Today we went to Lillehammer. This city hosted the winter Olympics in 1994. There is a museum about the history of the Olympics in Norway and the rest of the world. We got there two hours before it closed, but that still wasn’t enough time to see everything. We had to hurry through the last few exhibits so we would be able to catch the movie at the end. This museum was one of my favorite things that we have seen to this point. Each holding of the Olympic games had its own section. It was very interesting to see how the games have evolved over the years. After the museum, we went to the top of the ski jumps that were made for the ’94 Olympics. We went about halfway down, then went back up and drove to the bottom. There they had a downhill skiing/bobsledding simulator and Carl, Andrew, and I decided to go on it. It was fun; Andrew couldn’t stop laughing. After this we drove back to our little cabin (without taking any major wrong turns, for once) and had a relaxing evening before going to bed.
