Excerpt:
As I paddle my natal fjord I think of my grandma, Helen. I wonder if she ever dreamed of her home land as she put on her native dress, the bunad, and made lefse, romegrot, and krumkake? As I traverse these holy waters, I have come to feel a deep connection with and care for this place that was home to my family. In a very profound way, it is becoming home to me. "Grandma, I am home and wish you were here."
Review:
"In my over 90 journeys to Norway I have visited many of the towns Dave Ellingson paddled to. His compelling stories and stellar pictures truly bring this spectacular fjord country to life. I felt like I was there with him."
-Sir Chuck Nelson, Knight First Class to the Royal Norwegian Order of Merit
