I've visited a lot of historic places, but for some reason Ericsstadir seemed more authentic than most. Perhaps it was because it was not the history of kings or great leaders, but that of ordinary men who accomplished great things without any fanfare from their peers, or expectations of historical glory. I had a feeling the land had changed little since the time of Eric the Red. I could feel how it was then - I could look out the door, and it was almost the same view that little Leifur had, over a thousand years ago. It truly was a door to the past.
