Occasionally I visit with an Estonian neighbour lady my grandma's age (90 this year!). During our most recent visit she had some reassuring words about my upcoming trip: "You're going to be just fine. You have beautiful hair....and beautiful skin. You have nothing to worry about."
After eyeing me from bottom to top she also instructed that I leave 'those ridiculous things' (my jeans) at home and wear only skirts in Europe. "You need to dress nicely there, and also the men like to gawk at women's legs."

Góðan daginn
On the eve of my 30th birthday I have done one of the craziest things I've ever done: I bought a one-way ticket to Europe! And it's via Iceland!!!
Yes, on Friday June 4th, 2010 at 9:10 pm, I will say goodbye to Toronto for good and board an Icelandair flight to Reykjavik (which I couldn't even spell a week ago)! I will arrive early Saturday morning and spend three days in the world's northernmost capital city. (FYI This stopover is free thanks to a current promotion with Icelandair. It's a great deal if you're thinking of going! -- Ha, who "thinks of going" to Iceland?! -- Not that there's anything wrong with that...)
Then it's off to London (landing at Heathrow airport) and...well, who knows after that!
