Greetings from the Land of Fire and Ice

Here is a sampling of what we have done on our trip so far (you may need to use google to get the full picture):

- Seen the sights in the golden circle (geysir and gulfoss)
- Seen Pingvellir National Park (where Europe and the Americas are slowly growing apart, physically not metaphorically)
- Climbed to the volcanic crater of Mt. Hengill (inactive, we think)
- Walked behind Seljalandsfoss and walked to the top of Skogafoss
- Hiked the Skaftashedl Loop, seeing both glaciers including the great Vatnajokull, the largest ice cap in Europe and the third largest in the world
- Walked on Snivafellsjokull, part of vatnajokull, using crampons and ice axes
- Had lovely lobster pizza and lobster pasta in Hofn (pronounced "hup" as though you are hiccuping)
- Drove the windiest and windiest roads you can ever imagine (yes, those are two different words)
- Seen LOTS of sheep — shy ones, white ones, black ones, brown ones, brave ones, a few that really liked the grass near the road, and a few that even met us on the road.

Pictures when we return. Hope everyone is well.
