"Now we are on a boat to go fishing. We caught lots of fish. We caught big fish and little fish. It was really fun and then we ate them for lunch." Sofia Journal Entry October 26, 2012 This was a day that Vitor and I were really looking forward to. I had loved fishing for Cod in Iceland this summer, so it was time to fishing again. We started the day with pancakces that Vitor made and some yogurt and we were picked up by Dario. He told us that he was a little worried as there were some protests that had been on the North part of the canal in Colon but they were going to spread to the city. As we got to the outer part of the city, a bunch of people ... read more

We went to a place with puffins. Lots of puffins. There were these straight things. We went to a waterfall and it was fun and pretty. We got a little wet. We went behind a waterfall. It looked like sugar. We got wet but it was still fun. The end. Iceland and Greenland. My favorite things on this trip: waterparks, fishing, snowmobiling, whale watching, helicopter, waterfalls, ice beach, car boat, long boat rid to icebergs, and playing with Maddie. - Sofia Journal Aug 17 and favorite list. It was time for our last full day in Iceland. We had a great night staying in the Vik hostel. The town of Vik is very small with around 300 people living there.

We went to a lava field. There was a lot of rocks. It was fun. - Sofia Journal Entry Aug 14, 2012 This morning we did not get up to early, but took off for some other really cool places. Daddy had told me that our 2 days in Myvatn would be filled with lots of places that had cool landscapes or seemed like it was from a different planet, just like yesterday, and he was right. Our first stop were to see two incredible waterfalls. Daddy decided that we would see it from the "better" side ... read more

The whales were close to the boat. We saw lots and lots of birds. Also we went fishing and I caught a big fish. We ate it for dinner. It was fun - Sofia Journal Entry Aug 11-12. After breakfast at the gas station (we loved their ham and cheese stuffed pastry), we left Stykkisholmur for Akuyeri. This was one of the longer car rides, but it was beautiful.

It was fun" - Sofia Journal Entry Aug 9 So after an awesome week with Lenny and Maddie in Greenland and a bit of Iceland, we ate breakfast with them, dropped them off at the zoo, and said our good byes.

We saw lots of shrimp. It was cool - Sofia Journal Entry Aug 6-7 So many pictures and cool stuff we did in those 4 days in Ilulissat that I had to make 2 blogs about it. We saw part of a soccer game. It was a championship game. We did not need tickets, we just sat down and watched. The field was dirt, not grass. I liked watching. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ That night, we went on an "evening iceberg" tour. The boat left really late, about 900pm. The sun was still up. ... read more
