Iceland - September 2013

Since I haven't got any new pictures of Harrison and Declan, I thought I would throw in some shots from my trip to Iceland with Jane! We had a fabulous time and saw a lot of Iceland. Here we are at the glacier on our second full day. We also saw geysers, volcanos, mountains, the Blue Lagoon, the ocean, black sandy beaches, and enjoyed some great food in Reykjavik.

 Since we arrived at 6am, we had to get some breakfast! This is a classic Icelandic donut, called a kleinur. It was very tasty!

 Reykjavik, in the central downtown area where we stayed.







 Seljalandsfoss Waterfall.

 Black volcanic sand beach on the south coast.





 Traditional Icelandic Lamb Stew.

At the glacier.




 Gullfoss Waterfall...the second most powerful waterfall in Europe.


 The geyser area. One of them, named Strokkur, erupts every 4-6 minutes.



 Strokkur erupting!

 
 Thingvellir National Park.



 Reykjavik harbor area.

Harpa Concert Hall.

 The Sun Voyager sculpture.

 Hofdi House, where President Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev met in 1986 to discuss the Cold War.

 Hot chocolate was a treat on a windy day!


 The square in downtown Reykjavik.

 This was the beginning of a fabulous meal at the 'Fish Market' in Reykjavik. 

 Shrimp Tempura with seaweed salad and lime jalapeno dressing...and lobster coconut curry soup with mandarins...DELICIOUS!!


 Hallgrimskirkja, the largest church in Iceland.


My ham, cheese, and fried egg sandwich on our last night...yummy!
