Our 2014 Christmas trip was to Lofoten, Norway. We wanted to see the northern lights and this was our last chance . We took the train from Stavanger to Lofted. It took around 24 hours of travel time to get there. We also had to rent two cars and take a ferry.
There was lots of snow, but it was so beautiful. We rented a house on the North sea! What a great view we had from the house. We relaxed during the day and waited for the northern lights at night. We played rummikub, cards and other games.
We had a great trip and saw the northern lights almost every night.
What can you say about the northern lights except they are amazing. It is so wonderful to see God's handiwork. It was truly amazing. Pictures do not really show how wonderful it is to see. I can see how people could think the gods were trying to tell them something. I see that my God loves beauty and is amazing. He created this world and gave us a beautiful place to live and be stunned by his handiwork.
C took a dip in the north sea and said it is very cold. The girls just stuck their toes in.
You can see the northern lights from places in the states, but it was lots of fun to see them in Norway.
If you get the chance to see them no matter where do it because it is amazing to see the artistry of God.
