Skogafoss








July 6th. We hiked above Skogarfoss and up to the ridge, photographing all the way.
There was also an interesting folk museum there. We saw evidence of Icelandic ingenuity, such as skates of bone, horsehair rope, spoons of cowhorn, a cow's bladder barometer, cod-fish slippers, and a ram's condom. The museum's founder and curator, Thordur Tomasson, herded us into the church on the property, sat down at the organ and led us in a rousing version of Battle Hymn of the Republic. He thought Jeff was Italian.
