ICELAND
Again my Dutch friend and I spent time exploring another country- Iceland. The terrain is so interesting and unlike most any other place on earth. Covered in volcanoes, rocks and glaciers, there are hardly even any trees in Iceland. This is why they on

Marianne and I recently went on a Carnival Cruise in the Eastern Caribbean. Our first stop was at Old San Juan, PR. It was a very short visit, but definitely enough to make us want to return soon and explore all that the island has to offer. We got a
