Trip 6 - Scandinavia, the Baltics, and Greenland

26 June 2002 to 13 August 2002

After years of heading to the tropics and sweltering for six weeks, I vowed to go someplace cooler, and Scandinavia and the Baltics promised a rich variety of cultures, scenery, and cuisines. Greenland, which is partly administered by Denmark, fit in with the Scandinavian theme, and its plethora of worthwhile hikes and other outdoor activities provided a fulfilling two-week conclusion to this trip.
