For today's post about Norwegian Experience winner, Candice Jacobson, and her first day of the trip we have some photos that she and her guest took while visiting Eidsvoll. As you'll see, this is already turning into a trip of a lifetime!
The freshly restored Eisdvoll 1814 house, site or Norway's
independence from Sweden.
The Eidsvoll grounds was a hive of activity with thousands of visitors.
a special live TV broadcast from Eidsvoll will be made on Saturday evening,
May 17th. Special guests will include the Kings and Queens of Norway, Denmark
and Sweden.
The gracious museum staff made special accommodation so Candice could participate
in a one hour top-to-bottom tour of the mansion. Candice, in blue
jacket, listens to a curator describe this very room where Norway's independence
from Sweden was signed. Those planning to visit Eidsvoll should reserve
their tour well in advance. Tours in English are limited and all visitors
are required to wear shoe covers and be escorted at all times.
A cool breezy and cloudless day welcomed Candice to Norway and the start
of her 'Norwegian Experience'.

Constitution Center.
