Swimming? Fjords? Huh?

Ed and I each swam in fjords this last weekend. And we both lived to tell the story! I was out in the swimming area with the diving board. This is Puddefjord in Bergen. It was around 70 degrees in the water - if you didn't dive in and get under the top warm layer! Laying on the slope facing the sun was great - but my delicate white skin made me beat a retreat after only an hour.

Ed and Terry were in Sognefjord outside their hotel in Balestrand. It was warm enough that you could stay in as long as you wanted.

Who'd a thunk it? It was warmer than Lake Washington in July.
