Saturday, July 2. OMG, another waterfall. This one had a bridge spanning the lower river, making photos easier. It’s different in that it cuts through flat ground. You’d not know it was there from a few hundred yards away.

Stopped by the execution site of Agnes Magnusdottir, the last person executed in Iceland (1830). Though she was certainly guilty of something, obviously in hindsight her death is now considered extreme. An Australian grad student got her PHD by studying the event, then wrote an award-winning book about it (“Burial Rites”). I’ve read it. Very sad and disturbing from a “women are treated like slaves” perspective. A movie is being considered with Jennifer Lawrence in the lead role.

The rest of the day was spent at a Horse-training farm. Four cute girls were charmingly underfoot the whole time. The trainer was a young lady who bought the business from her father. Great fun. Some people rode on a horse, but only around the paddock. Another great photo oppurtunity.

Our hotel was, for once, in the country. Very windy location under heavy clouds. Happily, they had a bar. After dinner, some companions come together on the leeward patio of my room and we had a good time chatting. I walked up to the church on the hill afterwards (10PM!) for photos. As usual, the small graveyard was well maintained.
