This tour was an exceptional experience. I was returned to my roots and the richness of my upbringing in a mixed language and culture environment thanks to Ann’s expert leadership of the readings and discussions and Marie’s excellent guiding through old Quebec.
Melanie is excellent, not just as discussion leader and moderator, but also in many areas above and beyond that role: facilitator, mother hen, liaison with local resources, chief cat-herder, logistics genius, perennial friendly face.
“Visiting the Althing was my favourite memory of the tour. Sitting on the exact cleavage of the island, the Althing brought together the history and the geology of Iceland.”
