Norwegian Roots part one

Today was the day we began the search for Grandpa Erickson's past. Our guide, Kai Ove H. from ToursByLocals.com had been busy contacting the MP and local historians and indeed had a surprising day in store for us. We began with a picturesque ride from Bergen to Gjermundshamn where we caught a 20 min. Ferry to Rosendal. Then down to Matre to Skanevik, a beautiful, sleepy rainy village that swells from a few hundred people to about 3 thousand in July when they host their Blues Festival. On a little island just offshore is a statue of a guitar player. In the town we found the site of the old church we think, although the new one was built in the 1900's. This is where Grandpa was possibly christened. The other stronger possibility is Akra, a village you could see from the Severeid farm across the fjord. At any rate, Skanevik was a charming place that had a bakery from the late 1800's that served excellent cinnamon buns. Maybe grandpa had one?
