Norway update with pictures

   Well we're home again and like always it was an adventure.  The local news paper posted 50 pictures of our event: http://www.oa.no/nyheter/land/article5165113.ece
Our oldest daughter is the one with the crown, our younger daughter is in the blue bunad.  That's me in the black outfit that seems to be missing a big black hat.

And to make this an on topic post I even found a couple Allis Chalmers C tractors that a collector had.  There are almost no AC tractors in Norway and these two came over as part of the Marshal Plan, or European Recovery Program.  He had many other tractors and he started a nice 1938 Munktell two cylinder diesel for us when we were there.

	What a beautiful, charming group of pictures. I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed viewing them. Thank you for sharing them. It was also a pleasure to see the C tractors. When I saw the wide front I immediately thought it may be a B but all one has to do is check the steering linkage to know it is a C. Interesting how so few Allis Chalmers made it to Norway. Good Luck! Bill Long

	My wife says I should have mentioned the bunads her and I are wearing are from the Flesberg area of Numedal Norway, that is where my dad's father's side came from. Friends of ours there fixed my wife and I up with the bunads so we could partake in the big event. The bunad the bride is wearing is my wifes and is from the Møre og Romsdal area where her mom's mother came from. The bunad our other daughter is wearing is my mothers which she inherited from her aunt in Nord-Trøndelag. The groom is wearing moose skin pants and I'm not sure where the outfit is representative of. The real wedding was in Madison Wisconsin on the 5th of July, then we all went to Norway to partake in the big shindig the museum was putting on. Tom
