I am glad that the Peruan have preserved so well their weaving and textile traditions. I noticed the weavers great pride and strong passion for their craft. It was done by their heart. Of course they wanted to make business out of it, but it was something deeper than that. Their weacing and handycraft is vital in their society, and has its origon from family traditions and cultural heritage. The weavers in Peru use strong colours, but their expressions are even stronger!

Trekking from hut to hut in Norway`s pure wilderness is the best way to experience the country. When the snow has melted there are great opportunities for exploring Norway`s breathtaking nature by foot. Here you can walk down to deep valleys, climb high mountains and cross glaciers. DNT - the Norwegian Trekking Association, also called Turistforeningen in Norwegian, are Norway's biggest outdoor organisation for activities. During 135 years the organisation has promoted trekking and improved conditions for all who enjoy the country's broad range of outdoor attractions. For late summer and autumn this year (2006), DNT has some special tour offers which should be interesting for eager trekkers and adventurers.

The unusual discovery of an early medieval book of psalms in Ireland near the capital Dublin was Tuesday, 25 July 2006. Ireland's archaeologists consider it as a miracle. It was found by a construction worker. When he drove the shovel of his backhoe into a bog, he spotted something interesting; a handwritten edition of an Psalmbook from the Old Testament - the Bible. It was found together with remains from humans who lived in the Iron Age.
