4th of July in Hamar

The pilgrims overnighted in Hamar, our first chance in 4 days to avail ourselves of a shower and access to a computer. (Our blog postings will happen whenever we pass through towns with things like public libraries and hostels that have computer terminals, which won't be more than once or twice a week.) The Hamar Vandrehjem has a superb buffet breakfast, a nice birthday treat for Julie. We are stuffing ourselves like shipwrecked sailors who've been rescued. Onward today towards Ringsaker, and then Lillehammer. Our feet are getting slightly better, and we look forward to getting a fresh supply of good socks in Lillehammer. We had one full day of pouring rain the past week and all the rain gear had to come out, but otherwise it has been sunny, very warm and sometimes a bit muggy. Our wildlife sightings so far include many, many sheep, cows, & horses; a huge red fox; lots of unidentified birds; and a snake.

For you geocachers, here are a couple of coordinate readings from my GPS taken en route so far: N 60.19.88 E 11.15.44 and N 60.38.99 E 11.11.52. Not much difference between those. Will take other readings and post next time.
