Brendon, Ashley, Stephen, Vic, Max (Stephen's friend from NY), and I took the bus in the pouring rain from Stavanger to the "Eagle's Nest" in Kjerag today in order to hike to a boulder that is balancing 3000 feet above the fjord. Along the way, we enjoyed the company of sheep and spectacular views of glaciers above us and fjords below us. Although the day started out drizzling, it cleared as we began our hike -- the dragon's breath emanating from the valley floor -- and, by the time we reached our destination, blue skies splattered the horizon. We enjoyed a tapas style lunch with ham, cheese, fresh bread, cherries, plums, chocolates, nuts, and various spreads. Afterwards, Each of us took turns standing on the rock -- a very dangerous endeavour considering each of us had to cross a narrow (1 foot wide) escarpment with a 3300 foot drop. It was hair raising to say the least!
