of Norway, local flavour
While everyone is anxious to see
winter end Lloyd and Bev Eisler
are awaiting next winter when they
can use a new form of transporta-
tion.
The Eislers recently returned from
the Olympic games in Lillehammer,
Norway (where they were watching
son Lloyd and figure skating part-
ner Isabelle Brasseur win their
second consecutive Olympic
medal). They brought with them a ---
'Spark,' a mode of travel common
in Norway.
The 'Spark' is like a small sleigh
which glides along the snow on its
sleek runners.
"Everybody in Norway had one,"
said Bev Eisler. "The people in
Norway were so nice, they'd let
you have a ride on it."
The Sparks came in all different
sizes, for adults and for children.
The runner length was determined
by the height of the person using
the Spark.
The small sleds were so popular
with tourists that stores quickly ran
out of them. The people in Norway
either used the Spark as a means of
travel or cross country skis.
The Spark was just one of the
interesting aspects of Norwegian
culture enjoyed by the Eislers dur-
ing their trip to the Olympics. The
people in Norway served reindeer
and elk meat as a local staple.
The country of Norway did an
excellent job of hosting the
Olympics, said Bev.
"I think it will be a long time
before another country hosts an
Olympics as prestigious as that
one," she said. The ' winter
Olympics held in Calgary were
excellent, she recalled, but Norway
even surpassed that. The entire
Olympics reflected a theme of
Norwegian culture.

The Eislers dressed warmly for
the cold Norwegian winter. It was
too cold to go outside without ski
pants.
The country was very expensive,
said Bev, who said a hot dog could
cost $4 and a hamburger could cost
$8. The people were very hospit-
able, she said, and the Seaforth
couple met only one person who
couldn't speak any English.
-While in Lillehammer the Eislers
stayed with a Norwegian family
only a fifteen -minute walk from the
arena.
"The people we stayed with were
so nice and so helpful we were very
fortunate."
The country was beautifurIrd
Bev said they would love to return.
"It was a great experience, I
would love to go back in the sum-
mer."

and happy years ahead."
Dorothy is also very happy to
read the Big Brothers article in the
Huron Expositor last week, telling
about her neighbour (George
Jamieson) who is a Big Brother to
Jeff Collings of Mitchell. A very
worthwhile way to share talents and
happy times together!
