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!


The Golden Circle (or rather, Mossy Green Triangle) - Pingvellir first




Whatever one calls it ---- but it really is a not a circle though the guide books say it is... I read somewhere that it really is a mossy green triangle but calling it that is far less marketable then the Golden Circle - - nevertheless, even the locals said 'go' --- its WORTH the time - and it doesn't even take that much time.

So triangle. Circle. Or square. Go there.

First part of triangle:

Pingvellir - a rift valley bounded by cliffs


Pingvellir - means Parliament Fields - where Icelandic parliament met for first time back in the day...

The Yosemite of Iceland.

With the largest natural lake.
