ICELAND

Amazing road trip adventure in Iceland.
hello beautiful Iceland!!!
at the great continental divide- standing between Europe and America
standing on one foot on a patch of ice 1 foot from the edge on cliff of this huge half frozen foss (waterfall)
seemed like a good idea at the time...
now my favorite picture of the trip!
huge rock formation- boats can sail through the arch.
this view was worth the exhausting hike up the snow covered mountain.
we saw hundreds of Icelandic horses.
they have thicker coats and shorter legs than regular horses but
don't call them ponies or they will get upset.
jet black volcanic sand beach and troll rocks.
church of Vik perched high atop a hill.
saw an Icelandic concert here at night.
we went hiking on a glacier!!!
we ended the trip with a soak in the blue lagoon, Iceland's largest geothermal hot spring
ever seen Hostel II? Yes...THAT blue lagoon.
over the course of 7 days we saw the landscape slowly change, showing hints of spring.
can't wait to come back in the summer to see iceland lush and green!
