Frithjof and Ase delivered us to cousin Turid's house in Jakobsli east of Trondheim where we stayed August 5, 6 and 7. This is breakfast in her beautiful backyard. The front yard overlooks Trondheim fjord so she has a great view! On August 6, Turid drove us out to a beautiful island north of Trondheim to see the nunnery and ruins of an ancient monastery dating back over 1000 years. Thanks Turid for your wonderful hospitality, great food and fun!
The chapel at the nunnery on the island of Tautra north of Trondheim. The view past the alter is to the Trondheimsfjorden. We crossed to the island on a bridge with an automatic gate to keep the foxes out. There are bird refuges on the island.
A previous entry describes our day on August 7 with Frithjof and Ase as we tracked down the roots of the Sorlie side of the family. On August 8 we said goodbye to Trondheim and started driving south and west hoping to reach Geiranger that night.
As you Sinrud's know, Ruby's grandfather Ole Sorlie married Ingeborg Lien. So here is Ruby at the Storen home of Jacob Lien, Ruby's great grandfather and Ingeborg's father. Storen is about 30 miles south of Trondheim. A better picture of the home before it was painted red is in Ruby's dining room in Silverton.
We left Storen and blasted (at 80kph) south on the E6 to Dombas, where we turned west up a beautiful river valley with waterfalls pouring down from each side. We encountered more wild reindeer along the road. Mickey - he won't hurt you! Just pet him. (or her)
