Last year I spent a lot of time updating @frommers.com guidebook to #Iceland, which has just come out. Many, many thanks to my Icelandic friends who answered my random questions as they arose - I could not have done it without you.

An organisation I used to volunteer for: www.pc4r.org/howtodonate
Folks in Palestine and those who support them, this group offers emergency phone credit to displaced people, it's been going many years but just started working in Palestine last month. Runs through Facebook.
It's also another way to help for those of us looking to support

The arctic tern flies from Iceland to Antarctica and back every year. It finds its same nesting ground each time. It can become 30 years old so in its lifetime, an arctic tern flies = from the earth to the moon three times. A tern weighs 120 grams, less than a small can of soda.

A few days along the coast of Wester Ross this week.
