"Gratulere med dage Norway. What a perfect 17th of May. We had a chilly morning at -22 degrees, a full day of sunshine, and nice snow conditions. We had a long great day, skiing almost 16 miles.
Personally, I celebrated this day with Kvikk Lunsj and reindeer heart from Pasvik in my soup and dinner." -Update from Dirk.
Every year on May 17th, Norway bursts into a sea of red, white, and blue as Norwegians celebrate their Constitution Day, known as "Syttende Mai." This vibrant national holiday marks the signing of the Norwegian Constitution in 1814, a pivotal moment when Norway declared independence from Denmark. The day is a joyful and inclusive celebration of freedom, democracy, and national pride. We're glad Dirk had some time today to celebrate the day!
All is well on the ice!
Happy birthday to dearest Joe on the 19th, miss you but know you’re having such an amazing journey.
