Update from Ulsteinvik

Our Norwegian cousins sure know how to take a vacation. They're back now FROM THEIR CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY!
Here's Gunnar's note sent this morning from his harbor home on the rugged coast of Norway.

=======================
Hello Stan,
Hilde and I have been away on a four-week Christmas/New Year trip to Thailand and returned to Ulsteinvik yesterday.
We also went over to Cambodia and spent New Year's Eve in Siam Reep, and also a short trip to Vung Tau in Vietnam. I worked there for British Petroleum/Statoil almost 20 years ago and wanted to see what the place looks like today. Lots of changes -- and not all of them for the better.

Here in Ulsteinvik we have superb weather with a little snow and minus 3 degrees [celsius] and the forecast for the next couple of days is good.
We enjoy it, because it was a little too warm in Asia for us Norwegians.
All the best to both of you
from Hilde and Gunnar
