And now… glaciers, icebergs, and one gratutous picture of me… completely naked…

aThere I am, sitting on the plane coming back from Europe.

a 1We flew over Greenland… which is the icy one, as opposed to Iceland, which is the green one.

a 2That right there is an iceberg.

a 3One thing about air travel, you see places that you have never been. We flew over Ireland on the way into London, and Scotland on the way out. That was pretty cool.

a 4And now we can add Greenland to the list.

a 5I think, all things considered, that Ireland and Scotland are higher on my list of places I have flown over that I want to visit than Greenland is… especially since no one from Greenland has ever bothered to visit my blog.

a 6It turns out that glaciers have stretch marks.

a 7I think Mollie took these pictures. I wasn’t in a window seat, but I did lean over them to take a look.

a 8That is a pretty good picture of a flowing glacier, if you ask me.

a 9The blue of the water and the white of the icebergs and the drifting flows of smaller ice is really sort of beautiful.

a 11I guess if you like winter sports, this is the place to go.

a 12It has its own bleak charm.

a 13And that’s that for our European adventure… except for this one last picture… that I did try to warn you about… me… totally naked…

a 14In my defense, I didn’t ask to have that picture taken. My wife took it to show how high above the ground… or floor… the bathtubs in Europe are compared to most American ones. I think that was taken in our hotel in London, but all the tubs we saw had the bottom of the tub way up off the floor like that, which actually makes stepping in and out a little more dangerous if you ask me. I apologize for sharing this picture with you, but I just couldn’t let it go to waste. I hope the image doesn’t stay with you for too long. I will post some other stuff soon to flush it out. HA!

  1. “No one from Greenland has ever bothered to read my blog.” Ha,ha – that is funny!! Ok, so not only did I glance too long at the naked picture but because I’m reading this using my iPhone, I had to use my fingers to make the screen bigger… No further comment.

    Those pictures of Greenland, and the icebergs are really cool! (In a few places in Europe you can actually go into tunnels in glaciers — the ice is blue which is really weird. VERY tourist, but still quite an experience.)

    I’ve been to both Ireland (once) and Scotland (six or seven times). And in spite of the fact that all my Irish ancestors are rolling in their graves, I choose Scotland. (Oh, by the way — I just made my husband a Scottish Lord for his 60th birthday coming up next month. You had talked about your birthday gift and I left myself a reminder, and now he — and by definition me — are nobility!)
