Blue LagoonBlue LagoonBlue Lagoon

The water was so warm... like 36 degrees C.
Iceland is absolutely beautiful... and I recommend it to everybody. The low-down is as follows...
- so much nature and beauty to see (I need more time!!!)
- awesome hot springs / geothermal pools... but they smell like rotten egg from the sulfur
- pricey, pricey, and pricey... you had better save up if you want to see everything.
- Key attractions are: the Blue Lagoon, The Geysir, Thingvellir National Park, Gullfoss Waterfall (all of which I saw).
- what I didn't see: The vast wild bird life (like Puffins... on local islands), whale watching, the northern lights, glaciers, dog-sledding, horse back ride, and believe it or not... much more.
- night life: people kick it hard on the weekends. mostly a younger crowd on friday night. Girls are pretty hot.

anyways... I hope this isn't too much of a repeat from the email I sent everyone. I will add pictures as soon as I find a place where I can upload them... promise!!!

Thingvellir

National Park... where first parliament was held and where earth's tectonic plates (America and Europe) once met, but are now drifting apart. Currently about 8 km apart.

The Geysir which all other geysirs were named after. (Disclaimer... the big one is actually just behind it... but this one goes of every 5 minutes so its a better photo.)

Gullfoss

Probably one of my favorites... along with the blue lagoon. The two story water-fall is one of the largest in the world in terms of volume (but its about a 32 m drop).
you know where we be...you know where we be...
