Omaha Beach near the American Cemetery

My Father’s two uncles were Antifa. One was Antifa in every major land battle of the Pacific Theater, while the other, for whom I am named, lost his life during Antifa operations in Sicily.

Shame to those who choose to forget.

Transatlantic — Stavanger; Touring Lysefjord


Lysefjord

Ursula had us booked on a boat tour departing Stavanger for the nearby Lysefjord. Lysefjord is a 26-mile/42-kilometer-long fjiord located about 16 miles/25 kilometers southeast of Stavanger.

But along the way to the entrance of Lysefiord, be prepared to snap some interesting islands and houses with boat barns:

Just shy of a kilometer into the mouth of Lysefjiord is a rather unique building that looks as if it’s sinking into the ground. This is the Lysefjiordsenteret, a restaurant with a private quay (wharf):

And just beyond that is the picturesque Lysefjiord Hyttegrend (campground):

About fifteen to twenty minutes beyond this point the terrain begins to change:
