And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

The Viking Daughter just sent these pictures from Iceland. Reykjavik.
Has she been to "The Pearl" yet? Tell her to be sure to go to alafoss and get some extraordinarily beautiful wool wear. And tell her to pick up an Islenskur Fjarhundur while she's at it....they're the best! :)
Starkly beautiful! Friendliest people I've met. Even the skateboarders say Ma'am and Sir. If the people don't like Americans they hide it well. Have the horse steak at Prir Frakkar. Iceland is an expensive place but well worth it.
I am watching "Trapped" on Netflix (or is it Amazon Prime), and it gives a radically different image of Iceland.

I might have to take the plunge and go.
