Trondheim folkebibliotek | 
The Royal Palace when the royal family is in town in downtown Trondheim, #Norway. It boasts 140 rooms and may be the largest wooden building in Northern Europe at 43,000 square feet. Built between 1774-1778. #foodandlit
Sights around Trondheim, #Norway. #foodandlit
Trondheim is a gorgeous city with a river off the sea circling through it. Buildings on both sides of the river are practically on the water. Husband and son kayaked the river on our last trip and they loved getting to see the city from the water, even though it was close to freezing temps while we were there (cold snap in the summer). Just the other side of these buildings I found a Little Free Library. #foodandlit #Norway
The small courtyard surrounded by the library. It even has little a Moominhouse. A place where the children can play and the adults read 💙 #litsyloveslibraries
Attended a work seminar about school libraries today in Trondheim. Very interesting seminar and I love Trondheim folkebibliotek! They have a seed library where you can borrow seeds and grow your own garden for free. You just have to promise to return some seeds from your own garden in the autumn! #litsyloveslibraries
Sights around Trondheim yesterday. Husband and son went kayaking on the river around the city center (the first photo is not them, but made me think of them) and had a marvelous time despite it being cold and rainy. This is daughter and husband looking toward Nidaros Cathedral. And oh how I‘ve always loved the abundance of flowers here in Norway. On the road to Alesund today. Much of the rain should be over (please!).
Photos from Trondheim today, from top left: Nidaros Cathedral, old town (2 photos), and the palace where the king and queen stay when in town. Pouring rain and cold most of the day but a very nice evening out for dinner with some members of husband‘s family.
The weather here is atrocious—like a wet cold south Texas winter. So no around-the-town photos yet just these as we are flying into Trondheim. We did go see my husband‘s home when he lived here in elementary school and we walked the walk to his school. He hadn‘t been back since he lived here as a child.
In Trondheim! I‘ve never seen so many moose crossing signs. I hope I might get to see one on this trip. We will be here 3 days before driving on to Alesund, one of the most picturesque towns in Norway, probably second to Bergen, our final destination to see family.
The Orphan of Salt Winds has been a perfect reading choice for this first wave of the trip. It‘s so good.
