Photo problems

I can't seem to download photos here. Will try again at another site

The bakery

We made it to Iceland photos in future

The winds blasted us as we got out of the plane and we quickly realized what a windy country it is. Our down and windbreakers were quickly put on. Then after finding our backpacks, figuring out how to get kroner and finding our rental car service, Don drove our cute Mazda to the first bakery: coffee and pastry :so good after little sleep.
We drove a ways up the ring road to see lava fields and rugged snow capped mountains. Took a brief hike to volcanic craters, then headed north to see miles of snow fields. Icelandic horses everywhere.
We returned to Reykjavik and strolled the streets until check in time at our little B and B.  After a nap we grocery shopped and got royally lost! Ate at a great recommended restaurant,  but that was it for eating out here..very expensive. Still dealing with the phone, poor wifi and Verizon restrictions but hopefully my first blog will work. This is quite the adventure!

Iceland here we come

Our plane leaves from Logan tonight to Reykjavik,  Iceland! We get there at 6:30am after a 5 hour flight. Sleepy as we may be, we are renting a car for 2 days to explore the country. Can't wait!

Europe Bound in 7 weeks

Don and I are starting to train for our upcoming trip to Europe on May 2. We will be spending 2 days in Iceland and then will head for Zurich May 5. The plan is to just take 1 backpack each and keep it around 20 pounds.
We will be travelling through Germany, Austria and Switzerland until May 24 and have our Europass ready to go.
Today I walked 4 miles with a 10 pound backpack...Getting ready!
