A little video about Peru

Yesterday, I got back from a visit to the Ucayali region of Peru, to see my friend Lucy, who's been working for a year on education in an indigenous village called Santa Clara! Santa Clara is in the Amazon jungle.

I made this video of little things I saw. Lucy is an amazing Sacred Harp singer and she taught me two favorite songs, "O'Leary" (named for her parents, no kidding!) and "The Grieved Soul." So that's what we're singing in the background.

I'll put up some photos from the trip soon!

A Little Video about Norway

I am very excited to share this little video I made, with footage from the Island of Lygra, and an interview with Ole Mathias of the Lygra Gjestegard.
