Skarpi, thanks for keeping in touch. You and Gunna have so many friends here and we all share a deep concern for you and your country.
Another Mudcatter sent me a link to a really good article about this which also has general info about Iceland at the end, including the fact that the Icelandic parliament, is the oldest functioning legislative assembly in the world, which was established in 930.
I had not idea it was that old.
I am giving thanks for a swift return for all peoples to prosperity in all ways.
