Gleðileg jól from the Garmon family

At the risk of conducting medical malpractice, I dare say some of us experienced impaired 2020 vision this year. I for one am happy 2020 soon will be in the rear-view mirror. Having said that, not everything was bad. We were witness to a memorable wedding (and best of all that event took place prior to social distancing becoming a requirement). Additionally, many of us gained valuable experience in Zoom and other online meeting technologies.

Please enjoy the 2021 calendar as a memory of one of my 2020 experiences. For those who may have misplaced the URL of my Iceland blog, please feel free to return to http://travel.clearpathrva.com/66north/. Oh, and by the way, you might learn some Icelandic words on the way.
