Embark!

It’s almost here!  The trip I didn’t plan (until this week), or only minimally at this point — my escape from city and summer, from steamy heat on street corners.

Where we are going, there aren’t many street corners.  And all the steam is from natural geothermal swimming holes and geysers.

And I get to pack sweaters,  And tights and boots.  And…..umbrellas, because it’s gon’ rain, and rain constantly.  And this is the first trip where that is not failure, because that is simply the destination.

Wind, rain, fog, near seclusion, few hours of darkness, and fingers crossed for the northern lights.  Iceland, here I come!
