My first impulse was to title this post, "Let's all move to Iceland," but that would horrify the 330,000 people who live on this amazing island--there are 1000 times that many Americans.
So many fine things recommend Iceland, but one is certainly the endless supply of hot, steamy, high pressure showers available in every home and lodging virtually for free, thanks to the hydrothermal sources running under the surface of this land, which the Icelanders engineer into all homes and offices and buildings. If you love guilt free hot showers, you will find your nirvana in Iceland.
Also adorable blonde children.
And liberated women.
Indifference to organized religion and staid old institutions like marriage.
The occasional Troll.
Great fly fishing. Lots of sheep.
Fresh seafood. Whale watching just offshore. Lava fields and dramatic beaches.
Wonderful sweaters. Dazzling design from opera houses to seaport sculptures.
Really, can you ask for more?
They all speak English and they laugh at Donald Trump, who is an endless source of amusement.
What a great country.

Phantom,
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful..great pictures..especially the ocean shots...not sure I get the one about the "liberated women" and the astronauts..Does seem incredibly clean and unspoiled and any place with guilt free, high pressure, hot showers has my vote..

M,
ReplyDeleteAnd I did not even mention the fact that hot water is in such abundant supply for a pittance you can have your driveway undergirded with pipes so the snow is melted.
No shoveling driveways in Iceland, unless it snows two feet, which is rare.
