Finding a Sign in Iceland
Here’s the thing about Iceland-it’s a fascinating place; the ever changing landscapes, the unpredictable weather, the unrelenting winds, the extraordinary views, and the food. But it’s almost as if they don’t want you to know how great it is here. They’re not braggarts or, truth be told, helpful.

Like now! Like, not to be rude, but I need you to leave me alone right now because ….. Barffff Right there on the holiest of holy trails. Yep, I puked my brains out on The Way. Lucky for me, my wonderful husband is here along for the adventure IN A CAR!!!! “Lou, I need you to find me on Find Friends, and…
