It was a great pleasure for me and also very informative and interesting. I stayed with Randi Nymann Lium the Area Director in Norway in her beautiful house up in the hills in Trondheim. I arrived on Friday the 4th of February after a nice journey from Iceland. In the evening Randi invited all participants in the meeting for a dinner at her house. Her husband cooked Stroganoff and he is certainly a very good cook. We had the opportunity to talk to each other and learn about each others private life and  Zontalife and that evening was an enjoyable start of this meeting.
