To how many meters of height is Machu Picchu?
In the middle of the Amazon jungle, there is the beautiful stone fortress of the city of Machu Picchu, which is undoubtedly one of the most emblematic destinations in South America and the world today, with an antiquity dating in more of 500 years, Machu Picchu captivates every person who likes to venture to travel and to know the world. This cultural and natural heritage of humanity is a unique and rare place, for all the mysteries that after more than a hundred years of its discovery continues to hide.
Altitude of Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu is at an altitude of 7,972 feet (2,430 meters) above sea level; In front of it stands Huayna Picchu, which gives the classical geography to the archaeological zone, its summit reaches 2,720 meters above sea level. At this point, no matter how physically fit you may be, you may experience symptoms of altitude sickness. (AMS), this malady can usually be given when it exceeds a height of 2,500 meters above sea level, especially if you come from places of low altitude, if we speak in terms of risk, only the cusps of the mountains Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu would be the places where you would be really prone to acquire such evil. However in spite of the situation, statistically very few visitors to the historic sanctuary of Machu Picchu, who may suffer from this evil.
Inca City of Machu Picchu
Altitude of Cusco
Therefore, travelers should be cautious upon arrival in Cusco, the gateway to Machu Picchu. The imperial city of Cusco has a height of 3,399 masl, significantly superior to Machu Picchu. Upon your arrival in Cusco, especially if you have flown directly from Lima (at sea level), in a quick ascent (1 hour), you should take the recommendations to acclimatise.
Newcomers usually want to pass from Cusco to the villages of the Sacred Valley of the Incas. These cities are slightly lower altitudes, so they offer a more gentle form of acclimatization, before returning to Cusco. Once you have acclimatized in Cusco or in the Sacred Valley, you should not have problems with the altitude of Machu Picchu.

Advice from people who have been there
"Height of Machu Picchu"
"After getting off the plane and strolling through Cusco, you feel that the air is missing, but after a few days and arriving in Machu Picchu you forget about everything and feel cured and full of energy and you become supercharged."

Outdoor movie nights? They're the best! Everyone lolls about, enjoying picnic fare in the fresh air under a starry sky, watching a popular movie that not only has something for everyone, but that also somehow transcends its second-run status thanks to the lovely atmosphere. And weather notwithstanding, one of the best-outfitted outdoor summer series, Monday Movie Madness, begins its second year at Glendale's Infinity Park rugby stadium tonight at dusk. The film? Doesn't much matter, but it just so happens that Adam Sandler's gloriously silly golf romp Happy Gilmore will light up Infinity's ginormous JumboTron screen. Pack up something good to eat and join the rest of the bleacher bums tonight; gates open at 7:30 p.m. at the park, 4599 E. Tennessee Avenue. Admission is free, and films to screen later this summer include such crowd favorites as Raiders of the Lost Ark, Best in Show and Mamma Mia!, among others. Visit the Movie Madness website for a complete schedule.

Ladbrokes wins shareholder approval for Coral merger despite Dermot Desmond's protests
The billionaire financier said proposed merger with Coral was 'a deal too far'
Ladbrokes won shareholders' backing for its planned merger with Gala Coral, despite opposition from financier Dermot Desmond.
Chairman Peter Erskine said proxy votes in favour of the deal had been received in respect of 700 million shares, enough to carry the vote with around 1 billion shares in issue.
Earlier Mr Desmond told fellow shareholders that Ladbrokes management was "not good enough" and the company's performance over the last five years has been abysmal.
Speaking at a general meeting called to vote on the bookmaker's proposed merger with Gala Coral, the billionaire financier said the merger "could be a deal too far for Ladbrokes shareholders".
"The Company's total debt burden will increase by four times to £1.2bn.
Given the increased exposure to a declining and increasingly regulated retail sector, Ladbrokes will encounter significant and growing challenges in servicing these levels of debt," Mr Desmond said. He said the company's total profit before tax had fallen by 40pc in the last five years.
The deal will need to be assessed by the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA). Mr Desmond said that would involve "a negotiated settlement between Ladbrokes and the authority that could see the mandatory disposal of a material amount of the retail estate - estimated by analysts at between 400 and 1,000 shops and up to as much as £70m in lost EBITDA. In truth, the scale and cost of these disposals is totally unknown.
"I recognised from the outset that the Board would likely already have sufficient proxies to carry the vote at today's meeting. However, it is clear to me from my discussions with the major shareholders that there is strong support for the requirement for the Board to return to the Shareholders once the CMA negotiations are finalised," he said.
"I therefore call on the Board to agree today not to disenfranchise its shareholders and to convene a General Meeting to put any deal negotiated with the CMA before us for our approval.

IB Middle Years Program: Grades 7 -10
Tell me and I forget, Teach me and I remember, Involve me and I learn.
—Benjamin Franklin
—Benjamin Franklin
The International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Program challenges students to embrace and understand the connections between traditional subjects and the real world while providing a framework of learning. As an authorized IB World School, Kildonan has chosen to base our curriculum for the middle years on the Middle Years Program (MYP), representing the world standard for international education.
The IB develops critical, creative and reflective thinking, fosters the disposition of international mindedness, and nurtures student confidence, self-belief and self-discovery.
At its core, the IB curriculum enables students to understand themselves as learners—and as global citizens.
The MYP emphasizes intellectual challenge and consists of eight subject groups integrated through global contexts which provide a framework for learning within and across the subjects.
Students in grade 6 are transitioning out of the Kodiak Program and into the Middle Years Program. These students continue to focus on cooperation and respecting the class community, projects are still carefully designed to encourage students' intellectual and social growth, and students continue to share a contained classroom. In order to prepare them for 7th grade and beyond, they are exposed to different teachers with their respective subject areas. MYP teachers come to them, collaborate on curriculum, and focus on the developmental needs of 5th and 6th graders.
Read more about Why the IB Works for the LD Student.
"The heart of contextual teaching and learning is the connection that leads to meaning. When young people can connect the content of an academic subject…with their own experience, they discover meaning, and meaning gives them a reason for learning. Connecting learning to one's life makes studies come alive." —Johnson, 2002.

It's been quite the week here, as the Black Hat Chefs were going full throttle with our new "Discovery Sessions." While most of the world was celebrating "Shark Week," in our kitchens we were celebrating "Pork Week." That's right, from the very start of the week, it's been all pork, all day, everyday.
It all started with our very first batch of Capicola . In the New York and New Jersey region where I'm from, you will most likely hear this pronounced "Gabagool", but I've learned that here in North Carolina it's actually spelled out. Say it as you choose, but this dry cured cold cut is from the pork shoulder, with a slightly spicy flavor profile. As of now, it's in the brine, and will it be ready to slice for sandwiches and lunch specials by the first week of November of this year.
Next up was two cases of pork belly that came in, we decided to use in our Discovery Sessions. As you can see below, our Director Jim McGrody is just about to hang some Pancetta in the cooler. This will be ready soon, as it brined throughout the week, and will air dry for another 15 days. I'm feeling like this will be making its way on top of some of our pizzas in just a couple of weeks!
Next up, it was time for Porchetta. This was inspired by a friend of mine Chef Jason O'Toole from Cape Cod. Jason and I worked side by side while attending the CIA, and his passion for good food and classic culinary technique was always inspiring to me. Jason now owns a very successful artisan pizza place in Hyannis, Massachusetts called Pizza Barbone, and frequently posts pictures on his Facebook page of his Porchetta, a pork loin which has been wrapped in pork belly, then slowly roasted. It always looks so good, I was excited to do it here in the hospital as a special in the cafe. Below you can see the process of prepping it, as well as the end result, which was served in our cafe with a classic Marsala sauce, which I was able to make by capturing some of the pan drippings from the roasting process. Thanks Jay for the inspiration on this, it was awesome!
If you are thinking that we are done… your wrong, as curing our own bacon is also in the works. This four day cure was done with a mix of Kosher salt, brown sugar, black pepper, juniper berries, thyme, garlic, and molasses. This is now air drying in the cooler as I write this, as it will be smoked very low and slow in the morning.
To finish out the week, Chef Skip in the Courtyard Cafe was serving braised pork cheeks, served with our very own homemade sauerkraut and perogies. This dish was awesome, as they were done just right especially with the addition of whole grain mustard and carmelized apples. Check it out!
So now that I've shared everything about Pork Week here in the hospital, it's back to my house so I can continue watching Shark Week with my son! Always celebrating the new direction of "Hospital Food", New School Style.
Chef Ryan

Longiflorum Hybrid Lily Bulbs
The Hybrids of Lilium longiflorum are primarily grown in the United States as pot plants at Easter time, and have become known as The EASTER LILY.
Since World War II, commercial bulb production of Longiflorum cultivars suited for pot plant production has centered in the United States along a small geographical region of southern Oregon and northern California along the Pacific Coast. The commercial importance of the Easter Lily has led to considerable breeding and/or selections. Initial Easter Lily cultivars were 'Creole', 'Croft', and 'Estate'. Clark Slocum selected 'Slocum's Ace' (often called just Ace) in 1935. Ace was the predominant potted Easter Lily cultivar in North America during the 1960's-1970's. The cultivar 'Nellie White' is currently (1980's to present) the primary Easter Lily grown for potted plant use in North America. In Europe, cultivars of Longiflorum are grown for cut flower production year round. Few Longiflorum are grown as pot plants for the European Easter market.
The primary potted Easter Lily cultiver grown commercially today is still Nellie White. There have been numerous introductions during the last 20 years. Yet, none have thus far replaced Nellie White. Below we offer our Comparative Analysis of the Longiflorum varieties suited as pot plant subjects for the USA Easter market.
The Fred C. Gloeckner Company offers a complete Forcing Guide for Lilium longiflorum Nellie White for Easter Pot Plant Production, updated each year. This comprehensive forcing manual includes not only complete forcing requirements, but also includes current information on such topics as fertilizer and fungicides application, as well as current data on the latest research practices that will help you grow the best crop. Helpful tips on topics such as Graphical Tracking, Leaf Counting, and the ever-useful Easter Lily Bud Meter are also included. Our Easter Lily Production Manual also includes helpful production schedules that will aid in the timing of the crop to help ensure that you bring your crop in on schedule.
Please be sure to ask your Gloeckner Representative for our latest edition as soon as it becomes available in October.

Worthing 7-8 August
|Forthcoming event
|See the build up
|Pictures for Worthing 7-8 August (6)
|OMWC Rating:
The cloud built up all round Worthing but the rain stayed away until we were all heading off the water completely cream crackered! Cake was consumed to give us the energy to de-rig. The rain then cleared for a lovely evening. Steve and Leuda arrived to socialize (unfortunately Steve's leg has not yet recovered enough to sail) Wolfgang and Rosangela arrived just as we were all heading off to shower/attack the ibruprofen or chill ready for the evening in the pub. The George did us proud with the food and, true to form, we were the last to leave the pub!
Sunday the wind swung northerly but it turned in to a beautifully sunny day. The wind did swing to SW and the sea breeze picked up but not quite enough to tempt us on to the water, However, Sheena and I took her kids in for a swim and then went for a swim ourselves - glorious! Audrey also ventured in for a swim later. Those that then remained cycled along to the Bluebird cafe in Ferring for ice cream - any excuse.
Thanks everyone for coming down. It made it a really enjoyable weekend.

Wonderfull, windy Worthing has done it again! Best sail this year, sailed for hours! Also good to have so many OMWC members at the event! At least 16 members - all had fab sails except Andrew was moaning about the weed - no-one else had a problem, was it an excuse for errors?! Wolfgang was too late and Genevieve was looking after the kids.
Diary for Lawrence at Hayling Island on 07/08/10

After doing the child care thing in the morning/early afternoon & saying my goodbye's to the family, as they go to visit an old friend of Nu's for a few days, I nipped off down to Hayling seafront late afternoon - forecast was promising 15-20knts & the webcam footage from inn on the beach looked good too. Drove through a big rainstorm before I got to Hayling.
.....When I arrived teh rain storm was just clearing......but disaster! It had gone off with all the wind!
Having driven down there I thought I'd best get wet - just so I could put another notch in the OMWC diary bedpost.
Sail choice was tough - people had been out with 6.5m & even 5.5m rigs & said they had been planing well, one guy said his friend was out on a 7.5m & he had tried it during the strongest of the winds & had been maxed out......would the wind return, or was it gone for the evening????
I rigged the 7.8m figuring that if the wind returned I'd over downhaul it & cope......plus I can use the 7.8m on the RRD FSW 95L or the x-fire 120 happily enough. As I rigged I could see the wind dropping further - even the guy with the 7.5m was not planing now. No one was.
Having still got Duncan's kit in our van with his board (AHD Maxx ride DT70) loose in the back with fin in & no board bag that I have to clamber over to unstrap my boards from the roof & get out of bag & hunt for fin & screw driver etc. I thought I'd just try Unkie Dunkies board instead - been wanting to give it a go for ages.
It was all sub-planing anyway so didn't really matter what I was on provided it just about floated with me & rig on it.
Surprisingly enough, I actually liked Duncan's board - it was pretty stable being 69cm wide (I checked the specs - it is not 70cm!) & floaty enough to have fun on sub planing, I'll be interested in trying it out in planing conditions.
Anyway, the 'session' if you can call it that, was all sub planing so I was just playing about with heli-tacks & duck gybes, until I fell off & hit my knee hard (boards ok) when I decided to limp back to shore & sort out a few things in the back of the van while waiting to see if wind was going to return. It didn't. so I packed up & went home.
Thx Duncan for the unknown loan of the board - glad I did not bother getting my boards out.
Added by Carl on 08/08/10
Some people seem to keep their kit in pristine condition by driving all the way to the beach and then not going out sailing. I think your idea is much better though, of just using someone else's kit instead to practise on
Added by Lawrence on 08/08/10
........just wish they'd rig it for me as well before I take it out......

Fantastic day. Sunny, windy, a great crowd and just so nice to be out on small kit at last.
Would have given it 5 stars, but I did have alot of problems with seaweed, slowing me down, usually to a complete stop on each run (ok I know, I'm being grumpy).

Finally, a day where it didn't start off with the comedy 6.5 and the Playmate...
Hardly anything to add to Heather's effusive report - just like she said! Surprised to find the car park no longer visible behind a new development, albeit free (no doubt in exchange for the lack of toilets), arrived in time to help Audrey struggle with her new-fangled North XTR thingy - God those are pants!! Dump it girl, get some dyneema and an old harness hook - you know it'll work!
Walked about 6km to the water, tossed the kit in and we were off. Excellent. And Andrew - you're just dog slow mate, nothing to do with the weed!! Or did you overtake me? I can't recall... I know I overtook Late Tate (Late cos he's slow), but then fell off spectacularly 30msec later when I gybed into a wave and fell off the back.
Great to sail with Juan, he's always great fun and a good time was had by all. And thanks for the ginger cake, Heather, it was lovely! Sorry I had to dash - good to see the guys though. See you all again soon!
p.s. did a couple of ok jumps, and at least one storming gybe...

As the forecast was for decent wind all day had a round of golf with Mo in the morning before setting off for Worthing. Got there about 3.00pm to find the car park full of OMWC vehicles but no one to be seen - they were all out on the water! It was low tide and hence looked very flat - no white horses - decided to go with my 7.4 having no one to debate the matter with! Could probably have managed with my 5.7 but still had a brilliant sail until a front came through about an hour and a half later and I realised I was the only OMWCite left out so decided to call it a day
Diary for Clare D at Worthing on 07/08/10

Arrived late but had a good couple of hours on the water. Seaweed effected me a little. I managed to do a few carve gybes- well I stayed on the board so that is good enough for me.
Diary for Shef at Worthing on 07/08/10
|85 litres
Top weekend all round. Sheena and I went for our usual routine - I did ice creams with Rory and Iona while Sheena went out first, the wind gradually built up until my better half was overpowered and then I adjusted the boom height and harness lines and away I went. By this time the seaweed wasn't a problem. Sunday morning was spent at Heather's folks beach hut (thanks for the tea) before we set off to Hove to see bro and sis-in-law. Good to see and catch up with new and old OMWC'ers... Bill & Heather, Team Hierro, Andrew C, Kev & Aly, Steve & Leuda, Clare D, John G, Audrey and Mike T.
Looking forward to next weekend...

Hidely-ho neighborinos! It's time to introduce our designer of the week. Most of you will know the lovely Belinda from baobab, as she has made quite a name for herself around town over the past few years. I've certainly enjoyed seeing her business evolve into the eco-business that it is today. We're all about the boys today… and we're… BACK in BLACK!
Hitting the review panel today, we have an awesome black and beige baobab combo. I must say that it was especially fun to review a super stylin' outfit for the little guys. The Black Camera Tee features a cute button v-neck design in soft organic cotton. I dig its mod appeal and it is perfectly paired with the Black Cuff Pant which was the star of the show. Featuring a loose fit 3/4 leg in 100% organic cotton poplin, the cut of the pant is simply whimsical. They're roomy and comfortable, and achieve a funky asymmetrical appearance when placed on little legs. Although we're focussing on the boys today, the cuff pant is definitely unisex and could be matched with a cute top and a pair of sandals for a gorgeous girly look.
The Final Verdict… Funky, Casual and Modern
Belinda Blooman launched her label baobab about 5 years ago when her "big gorgeous leggy girl was a sweet smiling fat baba". Belinda is originally from Africa and still carries Africa in her heart and her blood. Her business name comes from her long term fascination with the baobab tree, which is also known as the 'tree of life' or the 'upside down' tree, full of myths and legend. According to Belinda, it's also a "wonderful huge hulking structure, somewhat feminine in form…"
Belinda is Mum to Anya who is 9 going on 29. She loves to travel, and picks up a lot of design inspiration along the way. On a recent trip to Hong Kong, Belinda saw a man in the market wearing a pant with a pointy 'outside inside' pocket. It was part traditional and part funky Asian. She loved the shape of it and decided to reinterpreted it for kids by adding the cuff and making it unisex. This season the pant is made from organic poplin {which is very cool and breezy for summer} but in future seasons Belinda hopes to incorporate organic wovens into the collection.
Belinda in her own words… "We spend a month in Europe every 2 years with family. My daughter has spent 3 summers in Italy & the UK… She's been to the Tate Modern, the Peggy Guggenheim Museum, she's seen the leaning tower of Pisa and walked the walls of Lucca. Travel is as inspirational for children as it is for adults."
Baobab caters to kids aged 0 – 10 years with a range of tops, dresses, pants, skirts, onesies, hoodies and matching sets. Their design aesthetic features clean, no-fuss styling with a hint of retro flair. Here's a little peek at the rest of the summer range.

President & CEO, Coast Forest Products Association
Statement on the August 2015 Forest Practices Board Report
The Forest Practices Board (FPB) report on Forest Stewardship Plans (FSPs) released today falls short of properly informing the public on how forest resources are managed. The Report fails on three major accounts:
1. Their assertion that FSPs are the sole opportunity for the public to comment on operational plans ignores the extensive consultation with stakeholders, First Nations, the public, resource professionals and government agencies that foresters undertake in planning forest activities on-the-ground. It also ignores that the public interest in forestry is embodied in extensive legislation, regulation and policy that direct and prescribe how forest resources are developed. Finally, it ignores that FSPs are only one of dozens of science-based, professionally-developed operational plans required before activities can commence on-the-ground.

Hamburg parks in rain are even prettier, planten un bloomen
Strolling trough the town of hamburg is usually always an experience on its own, there are so many things for you to discover everywhere. is it architecture, is it theater, opera, other cultural activities. but rarely hamburg is known for its green spots and park areas. but even there hamburg has a lot to offer you that you should have seen. from Stadtpark in winterhude to the grave yard park in Ohlsdorf a little bit more outside of hamburg. but this one here, the planten un blomen park in the center of the city is very special. with its walk ways and flowers coming quite close to the central park in new york. this picture was taken during a very rainy time in hamburg, yes hamburg is often rainy…
but i think the drama and scenery still come out pretty good there too….
have a nice day!

The Henley Bridge (Knox County, Tennessee)
The Henley Bridge, sometimes referred to as Henley Street Bridge, is a vehicle bridge that crosses the Tennessee River in Knoxville, Tennessee, United States. Completed in 1931, the 1,793-foot (547 m) bridge[1] is one of four vehicle bridges connecting Downtown Knoxville with South Knoxville, the other three being the Gay Street Bridge, the Buck Karnes Bridge, named for James Ernest Karnes, (Alcoa Highway), and the James C. Ford Memorial Bridge. The bridge carries U.S. Route 441, which is known as "Henley Street" in downtown Knoxville and "Chapman Highway" in South Knoxville.
The bridge and its associated street are named for Colonel David Henley, a Revolutionary War officer and War Department agent stationed in Knoxville in the 1790s.[2]
The Henley Bridge is a reinforced concrete open-spandrel arch bridge with six dual-ribbed arches connected by lateral bracing. The lengths of the arches are (from north to south) 203 feet (62 m), 232 feet (71 m), 317 feet (97 m), 232 feet (71 m), 220 feet (67 m), and 185 feet (56 m). The deck consists of six concrete girders, and has a total width of just over 70 feet (21 m) and a curb-to-curb width of just over 54 feet (16 m).[1]
In the late 1920s, Knoxville developed a new city plan that called for, among other things, the widening of Henley Street and the construction of a 54-foot-wide (16 m) bridge connecting the street with South Knoxville. The city initially hired J. E. Griner and Company of Baltimore, but after the company insisted that a 36-foot width was adequate, the city rejected their design. In April 1930, after intense debate, the city selected a design submitted by the Des Moines, Iowa-based Marsh Engineering Company, which was led by long-time bridge engineer James B. Marsh (1856–1936).[1]
Throughout 1930, Knoxville's city council, various local engineers, and the Knoxville News-Sentinel argued relentlessly over the bridge, bickering with one another over everything from the bridge's size to the construction materials to be used. One councilman charged that bribery had taken place.[1] Furthermore, rather than allow Marsh Engineering to choose its own construction supervisor, the city installed local engineers L. M. Dow[3] and S. B. Goodsey as supervising engineer and resident engineer, respectively, and made numerous modifications to Marsh's design. Work finally began on September 30, 1930, with Pittsburgh contractor Booth and Flinn overseeing construction. The cost of construction was $1.15 million,[4] which was split between the City of Knoxville and Knox County.[1]
The completion of the Henley Bridge roughly coincided with the creation of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and the bridge became for Knoxvillians the "gateway" to the Smokies (US-441, which crosses the bridge, is still the main route connecting Knoxville with the park).[5] From 1987-2015, the bridge was also the primary fireworks launching area during Knoxville's annual Boomsday celebration.[6]
The Henley Bridge is mentioned in three novels by author Cormac McCarthy. In The Orchard Keeper (1968), a bootlegger's car breaks down on the bridge. In Suttree (1979), a homeless man known as "The Ragpicker" lives under the south end of the bridge. In The Road (2006), the Henley Bridge is the "high concrete bridge" the father and son cross near the beginning of the novel en route to the Great Smoky Mountains to the south.[7] It is also mentioned in the start of Mountain Treachery, an Amazon.com e-novel by Matt Reid.
In 2011, the Tennessee Department of Transportation began a major rehabilitation project on the bridge. The improvements called for five total lanes of vehicular traffic, two bike lanes and sidewalks, as well as improved lighting.[8][9]
The project was plagued with delays, most notably when two workers were killed in two separate incidents on the construction site. Britton Bridge LLC, the project's contractor, was fined and the construction progress was halted for two weeks by TDOT.[10] There were also several previously undetected deficiencies in the bridge's structure that lagged progress and increased cost.
The project was partially completed with the opening of two of the five lanes of traffic on October 17, 2013.[11] The final cost of the project is estimated at $32 million.[12] Contractors will finish paving work, striping and lighting improvements, with a final completion date of June 2014.[13]

Our friend Lula was killed on the streets the Sunday before Christmas. I learned about it on our drive to Memphis to see Austin's family. Lula was also murdered. It is such a harsh word, but there is no other way to say it. She was killed across the street from where Ava had been killed a mere four months before.
Then, today, I learned my friend Tyrone died. I met Tyrone a year or so ago. The first time I met him, I did something that is unusual for me: I asked if I could pray for him. It is unusual because I normally get to know someone before we pray together.
Something stirred my heart. Tyrone used a cane and had a hard time just walking a few steps, so short of breath was he. I put my arm on his shoulder and I asked God to help him breathe.
It was an act of faith for me, because it is sometimes uncomfortable to put myself out there like that and not know how the person will respond. Also, I truly believe God hears all of our prayers, but he does not always answer them as we ask. Yet I felt compelled to ask.
As I kept seeing Tyrone, a friendship formed. I learned he had congestive heart failure. He was often sitting and yet still out of breath when we talked. He had a hard time with life on the streets and was eager to move away.
He was one of my friends on the streets "reverse-evangelizing" me, for he so often spoke to me of Jesus and how he experienced Jesus's deep love for him. He was safe and content in the Lord despite the difficulty of his physical condition -- both internally and externally. Really, God and his love was Tyrone's deepest hope.
I loved Tyrone as a friend and a brother.
Two weeks ago he was taken to the hospital. Today, I learned he passed away. We weren't able to go see him in the hospital because we weren't family. We actually don't even know when he died. The only reason we now know he did is because they got in touch with his family, and his family let some of the men in the shelter know.
It's hardest not having gotten to say goodbye. I feel so sad that I didn't know the last time I saw him was going to be the last time. I know he lived in a fragile physical state, but I really didn't know he would be gone.
I will miss Tyrone, his smile, and our good conversations. I will miss hearing him talk to me about the good Lord and learning from him. I picture him safe in his Father's loving arms.
How great is the love the Father has lavished on us,
that we should be called sons and daughters of God,
and so we are.
1 John 3:1

Goðafoss Waterfall – Visit the Waterfall of the Gods
The people who use Stuck in Iceland for their planning for their Iceland seem to be super interested in waterfalls. At least that is what readership of our content indicates. So we are happy to add an article beloved Goðafoss waterfall, the aptly named ´Waterfall of the gods´
Blind to beauty
We have often visited Goðafoss on our travels. But it is like with so many other places here in Iceland, we have not gotten around to write about Goðafoss until now. It is perhaps a bit like Mt. Esja. To us it seemed rather mundane place although we thought it was really nice for hiking. But since we wrote about it it is one of the most popular articles in the magazine. We are blind to the wonderful places all around us here.
Goðafoss waterfall is the first stop on the popular northern eastern route called the Diamond Circle. If you fancy taking a road trip, you can get our free Diamond Circle Road Trip plan. The name of the waterfall is derived from the legend of the Chieftain Þorgeir Ljósvetningagoði. He was instumental in deciding that Icelanders should convert to Christianity at Althingi Parliament in 1000 CE. Through his wisdom he was able to avert an all out war between the pagans and the Christians.
Origins of the name of Goðafoss Waterfall
The legend states that Thorgeir threw his pagan wooden idols into the waterfall when he returned from parliament. Thorgeir´s role in settling the dispute is well documented in the ´Book of the Icelanders´(or Íslendingabók). But there is no mention of Þorgeir disposing of his idols in the waterfall in the account in the ´Book of the Icelanders´ Whatever the truth of the name of the waterfall, we strongly advice against throwing anything in there today.
Goðafoss Waterfall is divinely beautiful
We visited Goðafoss last summer on our way from Akureyri to Lake Mývatn. The waterfall was beautiful in the wintry landscape. The air was cool and brisk, just the way we like it. Goðafoss is 12 meters high and 30 meter wide. There is a short walk up to waterfall and it is easily accessible on both sides. So budding photographers can get many shots of it from different angle. Visit it and ponder its divineness.
Goðafoss Waterfall Tours
Goðafoss waterfall is featured in many great tours. Here are a few examples:
- Goðafoss Waterfall & Mývatn Nature bath
- Lake Mývatn Classic
- 7 Day Guided Ring Road Tour | Explore the Circle of Iceland
How to get to Goðafoss Waterfall
Drive from Akureyri on highway one. It will take you some 40 minutes to get there.
