Jean,
Thanks for the photo-tour. We've never been to Iceland so seeing your photos was a treat.
All is going well out here on the left coast. We just got back from the Pacific northwest and are heading out tomorrow on an RV caravan. We'll have two foreign students till Christmas and then we head to Death Valley for a week or two.

UP THE PUFFINS!!! UP THE COWS!!! This really looks NORTHERN. Thanks for taking pictures of ordinary things as well as extraordinary (that's all relative, isn't it!) Lise
