Off the beaten path.

* A portrait of a lady: Ashley Hughes, in Iceland at the Blue Lagoon. I went to Iceland on the inaugural flight of Icelandic air, from Seattle. (Vancouver is a couple hours drive from Seattle). I also went to check out their effective use of alternate energy, geothermal.

Do not be fearful of new places, or cultures. You never know what you may come across, or who you will meet. This has been a resounding lesson in my travels. Be daring, be bold. Fortune favors the brave.
