Here are pics that Mark and Aunt Sarah took of Easter egg dyeing and their trip to Stavanger. They didn't attempt to reach Preikestolen ("Pulpit Rock"), the last pic, but had a wonderful time nonetheless. The estimated 6-hour-plus round trip to Preikestolen would have entailed a ferry trip from Stavanger to Tau, bus to Jorpeland, taxi (or hitchhiking) to the base of Preikestolen, and then a 2-hour hike up to the top--and then back again. They settled for the ferry and bus to Jorpeland where they found a scenic path along a river and ate their Norwegian-style sandwiches. Mark was quite the shutterbug on the trip.

All the eggs. Cate, can you figure out all of the soccer references?
