Tuesday

Tuesday night in Sarpsborg. We are here!

We started the day in beautiful Flåm and had a couple of hours to do some shopping at a great store. (owned by Arnie Brekke's cousin) We were on the road by 11:00, stopped several times to view scenery, eat, or just get out of the bus! We had to time our arrival because the Norwegians wanted us to arrive at precisely 8:00 PM. And we found out why! We had a great reception from the Sarpsborg Jente og Gutte Korps (Girls and Boys Band) and many relatives and friends of theirs. The band played, the crowd cheered, and many flags were waved. It was tremendous.

Tomorrow the band marches to the city center to play a concert with 3 other bands. In the evening the jazz band and madrigals will present a concert at the St. Olav Hotel.
