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!


Guesthouse Nonni, Hella, Iceland

A cute little house in Hella - close to that famous volcano Hekla....
and Eyjafjallajokull. We stayed there in route to Ring Road - called Guesthouse Nonni - and we were greeted by this warm, witty fellow...Nanni himself. An elder fellow in his warm home who loved mapping out our trip to Vik and beyond...
with his favorite coffee cup from Idaho - with pictures of fly fish.. reminds me of my Dad. He has family photos all about - 4 daughters and 11 grandchildren.

Guesthouses are the way to go, of course.

Waffles and home baked breads, pear and peach deep dish breakfast pie made by Nonni - and hanging with other travel peeps... mapping out the day again... and nice long lounging mornings. He makes everyone feel so at ease... and a fantabulous sense of humor...and vast knowledge of Iceland on top of it all.
