Last adventure and final thoughts





Well, I'm sitting in my hotel room with my bags packed. I'm only wearing a sweater, my jacket is packed away. Normally I'd never go out so lighlty dressed, but I'm off to the airport and its part of my eagerness to get back to the heat that is prompting me into temporary denial about the outside temperature.
The photos here are of downtown Reyjkavik, Iceland's largest city, home to about 120,000 people. It, like every other place in Iceland, is situated amongst amazing physical beauty. It is on the water with views of a foreboding deep blue ocean. At its back are climbing mountains and even a few glaciers. You can see these views thru cross streets even as you stroll the downtown.
The other photos here are from a drive I did from Akuryeri, in the northern and eastern side of the country back to Reykavik.
More stunning fields, mountains, ocean and glaciers. thank you iceland.
I am grateful for the beauty here, the same way I am grateful for beauty everywhere. Here there is just so much of it. I am grateful for the friends I made here, Glen, Harry, Erla, Lynn, Erik and Gustav, I hope to see you as we trudge the road to happy destiny.
