Viking Ships! This ship was uncovered in Sandefjord, Norway. The 75-foot ship was found within a burial mound. It's suspected that the Elderly skeleton uncovered within the ship was that of Olaf Geirstad-Alf, Norwegian King, who ruled and conquered many lands. The Viking tradition of utilizing ships in their burial ceremonies seems so proper to me. These people spent a large part of their lives at sea, warring, trading, or simply travelling. To incorporate your life's work into you life's parting only seems natural, or fitting. It made me think about my own life, or the end of it rather. How could I make my own personal? I don't have a passion for sea life, so burial in a boat would be quite right. Perhaps I could be buried in my own means of transportation. I'm no King and my van isn't quite 75-feet long, but it's how I get from Point A to Point B. Transportation is how someone experiences new people and scenery. Without transportation, life is stationary and bland. People recognize my van, it's big, 70's style. It's accumulated various nicknames. Anyone who hangs out with me has ridden in it. I've driven it through the country, through the city, across bridges and borders. Transportation vehicles are vey meaningful, they're with you wherever you go. I definitely want to get buried in my huge G-20 Chevrolet Van.
