I know what you mean about the south, Skarpi. We also went west and saw beautiful mountains and waterfalls. Along the way, my husband fixed a flat tire for an Icelandic woman, and she told us of a excellent place to get lunch.

We had a delicious, and the tables were covered with old, hand-embroidered cloths. I wandered around, photographing the embroidery. Then they let me play the piano. It was wonderful!

I'm sorry to hear about your mother and your sick friend, Skarpi. I hope your friend recovers.
