Reykjavik in an Afternoon


The charming little city of Reykjavik ... colorful architecture, ancient manuscripts, interesting street art and the beautiful central church.





Fire and Ice ... not just a figure of speech


Strapping on crampons and walking a glacier, plus dramatic Skogafoss -- waterfall complete with rainbow.




Tolting Through the Lava Fields



Horseback riding on the sweetest little horses ... experiencing the unique tolting gait of the Icelandic horses.




Adventures in Water


Driving around "the Golden Triangle" to the spectacular waters of Gullfoss, active geysers and important historic locations. Plus the unique experience of the Blue Lagoon.





On the Black Road


Driving around the Snaefellsnes Peninsula ... dramatic landscape of snow-capped volcanoes, mossy lava fields and quaint churches, and the road practically to ourselves.



Green is the Theme


St. Patrick's Day is a magical treat as we witness the Northern Lights ... another experience crossed off my Top 10 list.

Cute Creatures in the North


Making friends with Icelandic horses and finding wild seals along the coast.

A Glimpse of Glymur


A little adventure on our last day hiking through the snow to Glymur Falls and crossing creeks via cable wire.
