Virtual Post Card No.1: Iceland

Dearest pigeon friends,

Today H.D and I arrived at the famous Gullfoss waterfall in Iceland. To get to the top, we had to climb The iconic waterfall is one of the most well known places of interest located in the Hvita river. It falls into a 32 meter drop down a canyon about 70 meters high. It was absolutely gorgeous to look at. According to the information and explanation(that I only half listen to) that the tour guide provided, the waterfall is split into two drops, one about 11 meters and the other about 21 meters long. It's also called the "Golden Falls" because when the sun shines on the waterfall, it's legitimately golden.

The tourist guide also talked about how some power companies wanted to use the waterfall as an electricity source, but a local woman that lived near the waterfall named Sigridur Tomasdottir protested(so intensely that I would assume the government and the companies succumbed to her protests:P) and prevented the government in agreeing to do so(you go, girl!). I suppose that we should all thank her for this. The Gullfoss waterfall would probably be another spectacular waterfall that hasn't been used as an electricity provider. Thank you, Ms. Tomasdottir.



The beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful waterfall.
-Because I don't know where else to put it,
 A.D.

About Us :)

Hey guys, A.D speaking here. Roger that? Waiting for my friend H.D to come. I wonder where she is. 

5 minutes later

Seems like she won't be able to join us then. I'll just give you a brief summary of, well, us. I'm A.D, and my friend is called H.D, and we're A.D.H.D! (Don't laugh please)

We've chosen(jk we closed our eyes and randomly picked it :P) the lonely, lonely, island Iceland, the landlocked Macedonia, the chocolate country Belgium, and the tiny but independent Monaco. We'll be touring it in that order.

We aim to gain cultural knowledge by visiting these countries. We think that by visiting these countries we can learn more about Europe's culture and history. (We're totally not just going there for the food, I mean, who would do that? Ha...ha...)


 It's going to be fun, right? We also wanted to share our experience with everyone who will be reading this. This is basically what we will use to bombard you with information and our experiences. So,

 FLY LIKE A DOVE!!!!!!!
