Oh yes, we are back from Iceland
Iceland II, complete. In a way I think I got Iceland out of my system. I don't feel the frantic urgency to return as soon as possible, but if the opportunity arises, I will definitely go again. Perhaps for another season. We've done fall; winter, check; maybe summer next time.
66.5N, here we come!
Shortly after takeoff, a window in the next row fell out. It just plopped in onto the seat.
First day of our second month in Iceland
Freezing rain, sleet, and prevailing headwind. Pretty comfortable; far better than rain and 75 kmh gusts.
Two days in Reykjavík
We took our bikes out unloaded for some sightseeing (the harbour, Hallgrímskirkja, and Einar Jónsonn museum), then discovered that the water slide at Laugardalslaug is for grownups. Laugardalslaug is officially the best value in town, after the free walking tour of course.
Iceland II preps
I'm getting mentally prepared to make Iceland 2.0 a reality. We're tentatively planning to go again in early autumn this year.
2010- a tough act to follow.
There are many big checkmarks off the life list in this year, many firsts, and many not minor accomplishments, too. Many exclamation marks in 2010.
All is well at home
Iceland changed me, and part of me remains there. All day I'm thinking of the horses and the lava and opening my eyes in the morning to sky. Iceland, Iceland, Iceland!
Iceland at your own risk
Iceland is a very helmet-free society. They eschew guardrails, frivolous warning signs, and regulations.If you're stupid or careless enough to trip, slip, fall, or drop your camera or your kids over the edge, well, that's your business.Icelanders are not in the business of protecting anyone from themselves.I. Love. This.

I may not make a blog post every day, but at least I Insta.
