Pre-Ramble

Okay - so please read this blog with a gentle gaze as we were limited with web access, speed and energy after long beautiful days to re-hash. Even if I'm the only reader in the long run - it's great to blog-a-log deets I want to reflect on. I don't love blogging, but I love having blogged!

Likely, I'll take time to add or edit words and images when time allows (ha!) - but for now, in the spirit of imperfection - here's a scan of a trip to Iceland with John - August 2011. I use the word scan.. because you know there is always so much more to travel then meets the eye - so much more to see!

btw, to view from the beginning of trip to the end - scroll all the way down (then to "older posts") then to the image of the Iceland map & NYC taxi cab...and READ UP!
 - or you can read it backward, I guess!


Geyser - AMAZING - a video of the spouting!!


Area filled with hot springs, steaming creeks - turquoise pools.
This larger geyser used to spout up to 262 ft! - but no longer mainly because people wanted it to spout on demand and tossed too many rocks which added to demise... (likely impatient tourists!) - nevertheless - Strokkur (called also the Churn) - spouts up often enough and we were lucky to witness a double (see video)





I really didn't think I'd be impressed - I was wrong.... it's humbling.... what we have going on under this earth. Profound.
