Yep we drove the Atlantic road on the way to Thon hotel for a break from driving

Next day we were off to our Airbnb.
We absolutely loved Norway - I have Norwegian ancestry as well. We asked why the heck they ever left

We were told that back in the large 1800's, farm families would have anywhere from 5-10 kids, and the first born would usually inherit the farm leaving the others without a plan in life or really hard work ahead of them - so when the offer came where they could settle in Minnesota, get free farm land and become farmers and own their own, they all jumped at the chance.
