Good morning friends and family! Yesterday Robert and I ventured forth in the sturdy rental car to visit the famous geyser in Iceland that gave geysers their name. We joined a small throng of tourists, cameras at the ready, at a small bubbling depression in the ground. A short wait, anxious with anticipation, and whoa-ho! Thar she blows! Except... well, it was kind of a modest little pouff. Water shot up maybe a couple feet or so. Meh. We were laughing about "expectation setting" in foreign tourist brochures and wandering away when kablowie, the thing blew sky high, water spraying everywhere!! It caught me completely offguard and I screamed a little. Gosh, how embarassing! Anyway, that little humiliation over, we really enjoyed wandering around the geothermic sites and posing for snaps. The famous Gullfoss waterfall was just a few kilometers away. This one was most certainly not overstated in the guidebook. It was magnificent and I can't wait to show you pics! We lunched on pizza slices and dinnered on pub food, over a couple (or so) of excellent Icelandic beers. You'd think we would have trouble sleeping since it never gets dark, but we surely do not. And we awoke this morning to another glorious sunshine filled sky. Yesterday's excursions were precurser to today's activities -- we depart our simple hotel for camping in the wilds of the Snuffles Penninsula! Perhaps we'll journey to the center of the earth! Love T
