The Vikings Are Back!
Not quite. But almost! I cannot think of anything more fun than riding the waves in the replica of a Viking ship! What a great summer adventure! (Thank to the LRC)

It must be the Irish in you.
ReplyDeleteIt put me in the mind of the Enya song "Longships".
Yes, and I probably have some Viking blood, too, from when they raided the coast of Scotland.
ReplyDeleteA picture I took of the viking ship we had in Stockholm.

Some days later, sadly, it was burned down by people up to no good...
Daniel, what a wonderful photo! C'est incroyable!!
ReplyDeleteIf y ou have viking blood it is from your Irish ancestry. when I was in Ireland I discovered that they did not just ravage an area, but settled in for hundreds of years and brought with them a certain stability of government, etc.
ReplyDeleteThat's true. But on my Scottish side I am descended from the Watsons, and Watson was a Viking name.
