Tamara Georgick Homeward Bound
Eruption of Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajokul interrupts Ev’s completion of her travel blog no more . . .
| Well, Evelyn Lindberg and Tamara Georgick went on this trip almost a year ago. I can’t believe so much time has passed already. It was a splendid vacation, one where you don’t feel the need to take another vacation in order to recover from it. I remember going back to work feeling all refreshed. Iceland was interesting, although it is one of 3 countries still whaling, so that’s no good (Norway and Japan being the other two). Offering the ridiculous rational that the killing of these whales is being done for some scientific purpose, when they are clearly killing them simply to put them on the menu. It’s a very confined country, an island and all (but then so is England) with a really small population. No burning desire to return to do the same things, the experience is limited. I could see going back to Iceland to do one of the longer tours, multi-day or week long excursions, the geography being fascinating. They were proud of their unadulterated viking ponies and the fact that they can still read ancient viking texts as though they were written yesterday. Enough said. |

| London is a fantastic city and I spent a really wonderful period of my fervent youth here so I will always, always be fond of it in a sweet verging on the bittersweet (I’ll add melancholy because those two words always go so well together) way. The foreign singage is always fun. These three were seen around Amsterdam. |

And then we woke up and flew home.
