  • Daydreaming of my Iceland travels with @greatlakeskait 🥰 “Wit is needful to he who travels far: at home all is easy. A laughing-stock is he who nothing knows, and with the instructed sits” ~ Viking Proverb from the Hávamál #Iceland was first settled in the end of the 9th century when a Viking called Flóki braved his way across the Northern Atlantic and arrived upon its beautiful shores. However, his attempt to settle failed, and Flóki decided to return to Norway. As a way to deter other future settlers, he called the land Iceland which conjured cold and lonely images of a wasteland, but the ploy did not work. Other vikings continued to arrive and inhabit the island pulled in by its magnetic beauty. Today, it is a place of mysterious charm and a unique history that surrounds the massive mountain ranges and active volcanoes bubbling below the surface. The vikings that settled this land of Fire and Ice have left a lasting impression upon its culture leaving behind a legacy of hospitality, hard work, determination, and even a little bit of whimsy in a country that feels almost magical.

  • Thinking of our west coast neighbors also on fire today/these past several days. It’s difficult to fully comprehend the amount of land that is currently up in flames throughout Washington, Oregon and California right now. The loss of life. The loss of property. My heart is heavy when I see older “on this day” memories pop up like this one of the beautiful Oregon coast. Hoping everyone is staying safe. And please don’t be the next idiot that decides to light explosives to declare their baby has a vagina or penis. We really don’t care. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Wishing I was here... “Remember this: that very little is needed to make a happy life.” – Marcus Aurelius 5 mile / 3 hour hike - totally worth it. I'm not sure there are many places in the world where you can meander through old growth forest with the Pacific Ocean surrounding you on 3 sides, and grey whales 🐋 to great you at any turn. 😍
