We are 18 students in 5. grade at Midtbygda who want to visit you. The reason why: We have been travelling to Plymoth Plantation in our English lessons and it seems to us that the states Delaware and Maryland are not too far from Plymouth. We have followed the conversation between you and some other schools so we know a lot about you already. By searching the Internet on Delaware we found "Bear on the Beach"

Would be fun to buy a plush bear! Also, we found "Fly fishing for Wild Trout on the upper Dealware River. Is it far from Delmar? However, we have a good mind to visit Salisbury Zoo and Baltimore Aquarium!

By looking at the map of your peninsula, we found that you are located on the northern hemisphere and on the latitude of around 40 degrees and on the longitude of around 75 degrees, is that right? We imagine that your summers are warm and humid? We read about your freezing rain in wintertime. Is the climate damp in wintertime?

We have also found out that the time difference between Norway and Delaware is 6 hours. That means when the time is 5 o'clock in the afternoon in Norway it's 11 o'clock in the morning in Delaware.

We have set up a budget for the trip in Norwegian kroner. We know that 1 dollar is around 7 Norwegian kroner, and we know that a ticket by plane from Oslo to New York costs 5000 Norwegian kroner. Our budget looks like this:

• transportation: 5000 kroner
• accomodation: 900 kroner
• food: 500 kroner
• entertainment: 400 kroner
• museums: 200 kroner
• Shopping: 1000 kroner

It's a lot of money. The prices in Norway is relatively high. Can we make it cheaper? We don't know very much about the prices over there. We have a lot of questions to you before we go, but we are getting back to you.
