Not too far across the border into Norway I passed through Halden, which was a town dominated by a large timber processing plant set in a depression and ringed by hills that were only slightly obscured by the steam and smoke coming from the plant. Bruce Springsteen would have felt at home there. I was handling my fourth currency in a couple of weeks and it showed when I handed over some stray Swedish kroner to pay for some Norweigan groceries. But no worries, the error was quickly righted. (10-20-04)
