Finished with the book and too ashamed for another round of smorgasbord. I concluded the meal with three desserts, apple crunch cake, Norwegian rosettes, and rum pudding. After lapping up the last of the rum, I forgave my Scandinavian friends for serving French pastry and said goodbye to the waiter, the dishwasher, the cold chef, the hot chef, and the just plain chefs.

Sturdy Swedes. Covering such a course in a slow walk would be a trial for the average athlete. Sturdy Scandinavians turn the wild cross-country scrambles into punishing foot races. Known officially as "orienteering," the sport dates back to 1918 when the first Swedish club was formed to hold formal competitions. Unofficially, historians trace the race's origins across 1,000 years to a time when Scandinavian sentries guarded long lonely frontiers. Then, long-winded runners were the only means of communication with threatened inland settlements...
