Arriving in Geilo, Norway

We arrived in Geilo yesterday (Thursday) after flying to Chicago, then Stockholm, then Oslo, then taking a bus to Geilo. We're staying at the Dr. Holm's hotel, a wonderful 100 year old former sanitorium built by a doctor to allow TB and asthma patients to breathe the champagne mountain air. 127 rooms, pool, amazing book filled library, lots of art, wonderful food. Today we walked up to Geilo Toppen, which was a hike to the top of a ski hill and lunch. Then it turned out that the top of the ski hill opened up to an amazing plateau. There's still snow in a few patches, and in fact we won't know til tonight whether we will be able to do the planned hike due to snow.

Group is great and all are having a good time.

Well if you can't hike due to snow then you can ski!

Nice to hear from you; keep having fun.

Love,
