Hiking to Eyjafjallajokull with language misfires
A family travels to Iceland for an eight hour Eyjafjallajokull hike. The guide and parents stumble over names and pronunciations while planning routes between Hekla and Katla. They joke about the toilet as steam obscures the hot volcano, and the trip becomes a humorous language learning adventure.

Hobos Left Mark on Holland's Windmill Island Era
Holland residents and visitors recall a transient trail of hobos in the early to mid 20th century. From jungles near the Pere Marquette station to windswept camps by Windmill Island and Freedom Village, itinerants found temporary shelter and traded labor for meals. Murders and raids shaped memory, and by World War II the era faded as migrant workers displaced the hobos. Randy Vande Water notes the history for the Holland Sentinel.
