I was really enjoying your trip and very interested to learn that many Norwegians settled there. My mom's grandparents both immigrated to the US in 1887 and 1900. They lived in the Spokane, WA area.

The Hubster and I took a drive in to the mountains of of eastern West Virginia a few weeks ago and visited several town that are very similar to the pics you've posted.

We had friends from there who couldn't believe we would actually pick it as a destination, ha! And no, I don't recall it being quite as quaint as your Decorah, oh well, it was a place to go in the winter, spend a fun weekend in a hotel with a pool for the kids.<br />Thanks for stirring up some memories! <br />Susanne.Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00843617188292463722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071006614955267706.post-6452648787312575052012-11-27T09:02:17.044-06:002012-11-27T09:02:17.044-06:00Looks like a wonderful town!

When we had more time, my husband and I would drive to towns like this and just enjoy the atmosphere and a chance to discover new things.
