Whereas it took us five months to get the photos of our summer trip on-line, it's taken us only a week to prepare the photos of our most recent trip to Iceland. It definitely helped that there were several thousand fewer of them.
More than ever before, Sarah and I felt very comfortable in Iceland on this trip. It's very easy to imagine living there at some point in the future. The language is the only major obstacle, but that, too, is surmountable, of course.
In fact, I purchased a couple of books from a Reykjavík bookshop to help me learn Icelandic. I already knew it to be a difficult language, essentially unchanged from the Old Norse spoken 1000 years ago, but now I've seen the grammatical evidence. With its multiple genders, declensions and inflections, Icelandic is going to be a major challenge to learn, especially at a distance (where I have no opportunity to speak it or have my mistakes corrected). It remains to be seen whether I can summon enough discipline to dedicate enough time to the endeavour.
