This month long cruise was incredibly rich and diverse, teaching us new things deeper than the PhD level in many areas, guided by incredible planning and organization by Luda. Here are less than a hundred of more than a thousand selected best pictures in my private album (most taken by Luda). Scroll down to see which days are of greatest interest to you. By the way, I also have extensive "keep" notes for most of these. I: DAY 1: Sunday, July 23. Arrived Rejkyavik airport. Walked from Flybus terminal to NCL Star, our home for every day. Photo I1: view from the main cathedral of Iceland. Statue commemorates Ericsson. Loki Cafe visible on left. Photo I2: House where Reagan and Gorbachev met, a major node in the history of humans at all levels. We had time to meditate, see very far, and take many photos. I remember what Reagan said about elves and space. Photo I3: View of cathedral and central port district from on or near our ship.
II: DAY2: Monday July 24 first visit and tour of Isafjordur II.1 Map of this area (NW Iceland). Incredible network of fjords and land led to unusual proximity of intelligent cetaceans and humans. Remoteness led to meetings and people important to formation of Iceland. II.2 system of waterfalls said by tourguide to be number one of thousands of named waterfalls of iceland. II.3 great place of meditation, where I could imagine how one of the leaders coming to that meeting would balance and be well-grounded in all three levels taught by the great mystic KuKai -- serious and palpable physical body life (palpable in my own muscles here!), the level of "speech" (the meeting!!) and "the level of the gods" (palpable in attunement with the great spirit surrounding us). II.4 next guide took us to a sheep farm, near where legend says the last troll woman was executed. Two or three of the sheep in back were "leadersheep" (https://www.trinityfarm.net/icelandic-leadersheep), a serious biological phenomenon, growing all over Iceland, where sheep (and goats?) are pushing out cows and reindeer.
