09/Greenland

A whole decade has gone by since my trip to Scotland  in 1999 - The homeland of my ancestors, Scotland comes back into focus once again with this years trip to Greenland and Denmark. Perhaps it was flying over the Orkney Islands off the north coast of Scotland four times coming and going to Greenland,  from San Francisco and  Copenhagen this summer.  Somewhere in a DNA echo perhaps, there was a familiar memory tug.

At any rate Scotland and Greenland have become important bookends to a decade of accelerated work and travel
