Bergen, Norway...Dale of Norway, a Living Museum and More...

Beautiful day in Bergen....started out a bit overcast but cleared up later in the day to bright skies. Bergen is checkered with colorful buildings and has a very busy port. Our excursion today was to the Dale of Norway textile factory and store. This was one excursion that I wanted because I'd seen all the colorful sweaters and wanted to have one in my collection.

Although I don't wear wool....I know...what are you thinking? I was lucky to find a thin weave that was comfortable to wear. During the visit we took a tour of the factory with a charming young college student striving to become a teacher. She is a native of Dale and obviously very proud of their  town and industry. 

The workers were on required holiday. She said they loved working here so much that they didn't want to stop and the company made them all go on vacation. 

Enjoy a few moments of our day....and if you're into sweaters, this is the excursion for you! But beware, they are expensive! 

Happy travels and thanks for stopping by!
