Hello everyone! Sorry for my long absence from blogland. I've just returned from a most excellent tour of three Scandinavian countries, Sweden, Denmark and Norway. My buddy Kim and I teamed up with two other friends from our 2023 Ireland tour, and we four ladies had an absolute blast. As with my other travelogues, I'll be posting a series of camera pics and stories very soon. But in the meantime, let me whet your appetite with a few cell phone photos.
