Patrick hes happy leif Erickson Day.
7
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:51.840
Well, today is National leaf ericson day Leith. He was
8
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:54.280
a Viking. His dad was Eric the Red. Around the
9
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:57.119
year one thousand leaf in his career, they landed in Canada.
10
00:00:57.479 --> 00:01:00.359
Now they were actually sailing to Greenland. Yeah, we got
11
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:03.399
blown off course there, possibly the first Europeans actually set
12
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:06.239
foot in North America. Now now he named it Vinland
13
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:08.319
because of all the grape vines that were growing all
14
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:11.159
over the place. They were on the northern tip of Newfoundland. Now,
15
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:12.359
it was too late in the year to try and
16
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:14.040
get back to Greenland, so they just had to build
17
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:16.480
shelters and camp there for the winter. Well, when spring
18
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:18.439
hit they headed back to Norway. When they got home,
19
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:20.879
they told everybody wh would listen about this new place
20
00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:23.280
that they found called Vindin. Now, quite a few of
21
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:25.840
those Norwegians Vikings. Yeah, they went out and checked it out.
22
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:30.079
So how are we supposed to celebrate leaf a Perrikens today? Well,
23
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:32.159
I guess we can go all Nordic and Viking. We
24
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:34.599
can eat pickled herring and smoke salmon. We can pillage
25
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:37.280
our neighbors. It's a good excuse to drink though. So
26
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:39.519
there we go. Now, Leaf he didn't get to North
27
00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:42.359

28
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:45.120
