Spring Cleaning

Doing some spring cleaning through the photos and we found a few that were missed earlier so we thought we would add them in now.  They may be a little jumbled but at least we will get them in the blog.  (it happens trying to catch up)...On with the show.

Viking Borre Mounds - Horten

Borre mound cemetery  (Norwegian:  Borrehaugene)   We visited these burial grounds at Horten in Vestfold, Norway on our way back to Kristiansand from the zone conference, about a half hour off the main road home.  It is the largest burial mound site in Northern Europe. Borre National Park is home to the most extensive collection of king’s graves in Scandinavia. It is home to seven large and 21 smaller burial mounds. Excavations in the 1980s revealed that the oldest mounds may date to 600 AD, even prior to the Viking Age. They have developed a nice little museum were once there was only the mounds when Dad first served in Norway that give visitors a taste of viking life in that period.  This museum is a smaller scale version of the large one we visited on Lofoten but very nice and we had a personal tour since there were only about 3 families there at the time. A Magnificent loud thunderstorm rolled through as we were touring the grounds bu...
