"At noon the next day we arrived in Nesbyen. Naturally we could not afford a hotel, so we called on the well-known violin player (spilleman) Tor Brattestad, to hear his violin. Unfortunately for us, he was not at home. So we rested our tired horses, got out our lunch basket amd hot coffee from Mrs. Brattestad, and then continued our journey down the barren mountain slopes. April was too early for signs of spring up in the mountains."
Excerpt from Sigrid's account of her journey to America, written in 1919.
