As luck would have it, one of the schools Martin wants to visit for his project is in the small town of Stavern, which is very close to Larvik where my mother’s cousin lives. We found a wonderful campground with a beautiful beach and lovely camper cabins. This was truly a vacation day. We all visited the Fredtun Folkhøgskole with Martin, and the boys are now inspired to consider a year of education in Norway or Sweden. We spent the afternoon swimming and playing and then were invited to our relatives for dinner. Sven and Elisabeth Klefstad graciously prepared a Norwegian dinner for us even though they had only just finished with their school year. Both Sven and Elisabeth are teachers and had spent the week with all the final grading and work that this time of year brings. We are so happy that they were able to find a little time to see us. Sven is retiring this year and we wish him the best for his retirement.
