Iceland is amazing and I love your that you’ve shown it as I remember. Quirky in a fabulous way, that’s how I described it when I was there. I expected the geology but not so much the culture. It was where I went to mark my work retirement in 2017, and I’m determined to go back but in summer so I can checkout the Icelandic ponies. Thanks for reminding me about this great place. Fabulous sign too! Hilarious.
Thanks for sharing your recollections of this remarkable, Kath. I like your choice of words “quirky in a fabulous way”. I expected big nature, but the uniquely Icelandic culture is what drew me back more than once. Cheers!
Beautiful place!
Indeed, David. An uncommon privilege for me to have been there. Cheers!
Great stuff once again, my friend. You even threw in a guide to tying a proper tie. Too bad I have to travel to Iceland for this!
Thanks for the kind words and good humor, Gerald. I just love random stuff like this… so many clues to the nature of a place and her people, Viking and otherwise. All the best!
You always offer such a buffet of visual images, Frank. Thank you for sharing these with us! 🙂
Thank you, Tracy, for seeing that my “travel stories” posts are more that just travel souvenirs. Big hug!
I somehow missed this and am just seeing it now. Thank you for the big hug, sending one your way…
Wholesome photos✨️
I like your choice of words “wholesome”, Isha. Thanks and hugs.

Love these and yes that pizza sign is hysterical😁
Thanks for checking in and for diggin’ the pix, Kiki.
I, too, love random stuff like the pizza sign. Such a great window into a local culture, imported influences, and the common humanity we all share.
What a fascinating collection of photos, Frank! And I love the Pizza sign! Great marketing!! Ha!
Anita, I’m “replying” to you because both the “like” button and the comment blank for this site have disappeared on my device screen, and I want Frank to know how much I enjoyed the post! Thank you for your understanding 👌
Copy that, Ana. Huge thanks and hugs!
BTW, I do not see a comment box on your post titled “The One They Instantly Forgot”
Yeah, we’ve got phishing hackers.
Hacking phishers… BOO!!!

Thanks for cheering me on, Anita!
Like you, I love random stuff like the pizza sign. Such a great window into a local culture, imported influences, and the common humanity we all share.
