Icelandic Adventures, part 1

I am in love with traveling! We’ve fallen in love with the tolt pace of Icelandic horses, Harbour seals in the Atlantic, the tectonic rift in Thingvellir National Park, and crepes!

Chocolate mint ice cream! Not sure why it’s blue but it’s delicious! 

I’ve never been one for bus tours. That’s something my grandparents did! But the age group is generally 20s and 30s. All of our the guides from Grayline Iceland have been fun, knowledgeable and terrific drivers, even in near whiteout snow conditions!

We’ve seen incredible beauty and explored a fun city. I wonder what the rest of the trip will bring!
