"Kirkjufell, a giant mountain in the ocean just off the coast."
words and photo by el mísmisimo Perro
my friend el Perro has been "trudging"
across Iceland for the 2nd time!
his blog is full of beautiful & remote landscapes
and cheerful anecdotes from that other side
of the world! visit it for more:
I speak Icelandic
Ps. I learn today the word "trudging"
he left that word in his Out of the Office reply
I never heard that word in English before
I didn't find a literal translation for it in Spanish either
the closest equivalent is: el caminar penosamente
i guess something like walking laboriously...

gives me goose bumps, what a wonderful film, back when Spielberg was masterful! one of my favorite alien's films of all times!
"Walking laboriously" sounds about right. How about andar con triste? (That's "to walk with misery," right?)
ja ja ja Dr. Jay :D "andar con tristeza", sounds accurate too! i read a list of synonyms on the thesaurus for the word

i am always finding words in English that I don't know... i find many in Spanish that I don't know either, even if it's my native tongue and i am sort of "well-read" (or i'd like to think i am heh heh) but it's soo coool to discover a new one, huh? if ever have a question about Spanish words, let me know! yo lo puedo ayudar :D
hmmm "melancolicamente andar"?
CCotTK is a good movie. Just purchased recently in one of these masterized versions and enjoyed re watching it... very true, when Spielbergo (The Simpsons- Season6 episode121 A Star Is Burns) was doing still ok...
