Greetings from Bob and Bernie:
It looks like the flooding this time is worst than
it was the one winter we
were there.
The septic tanks will again need to be pumped out.
We have
survived our first winter in Kokomo,
with only a few heavy snows.
We returned
from our ten day trip to Iceland and the Faroe Islands. It was colder in Kokomo
(below freezing)
and 1 to 3 degrees C in Iceland
and 4 to 5 degrees C in the
Faroe islands.
There were 54 persons in our group, one from Singapore and one
from Mexico. The hotel in Iceland was first class while the hotel in The Faroe
Islands was good but definitely not as good (the elevator could hold only 3
persons)
The food was very good everywhere with fish and sheep a dominate item
on the menu.
We had to split up the group into 3 different hotels in the Faroe
Islands. The Faroe islands does not get many tourist and the population is
about 50,000 and now with people from all over the world arriving, there was no
place for them.
There is only one airport on one of the 18 islands approximate
a mile in length as the remaining terrain is not flat.
The attached photos show what we saw: Total solar eclipse,
northern lights
and how some in our group were waiting for totality. The ships were cruise
ships there just for the event.

Hope the weather changes and it dries up soon for you.
