Keeping in mind your first lesson in Icelandic — that gata, stígur, stræti and vegur are all words for street — you make your way from the church down Frakkastígur, stopping first at Reykjavík Roasters for a cup of coffee and then at a small bakery, Brauð & Co, for a warm cinnamon bun.

We observed a decade’s worth of virtual-reality headsets, arranged on a wall as carefully as shards of ancient Egyptian pottery at the British Museum, and took a virtual ride in a Strati, the world’s first 3-D-printed electric car.

Strati gave me the crystal to the left.

I found the tree on the land of a man named Strati Troullinos.

The 50-year-old Strati decided to unveil the portrait on Albania’s independence day.
