A LITTLE TRIVIA......

I'm reading the new biography of chess champion Bobby Fischer, "END GAME" by Frank Brady which, by the way, is fascinating.  I came across this bit of trivia which should interest Donnie and Linda since they've been there.

Icelands Parliament was founded in 930 A.D., during Viking times, and it's still going strong making it the oldest Parliament in the world.  Sounds like that's a government that must be doing something right!

And, here's something else about Iceland.  Every year LONELY PLANET picks the best travel destination for the New Year and this year they picked ICELAND as the place to visit.  CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT THE STORY
