Burt Wolf: Travels and Traditions

Trondheim, Norway (1x6)

Air date: Jun 02, 2000

We’ll see how the ancient Viking need to go exploring in search of food has led the Norwegians into outer space to grow strawberries! It’s no accident that the NASA spacecraft that explored Mars was named Viking. We’ll visit the site of a miracle that turned a Viking warrior into the patron saint of Norway. At the Trondheim Folkmuseum we’ll tour an 800-year-old Christian church that evolved from a Viking house of worship… and take a look at the technique for making flatbread. We’ll also find out what’s good to eat.
