Hey, folks. I’ve finally wrapped up all my diary stories for Iceland 2017 and organized all my photos. My homework is to finish a more indepth piece on how the Icelanders are harnessing their volcanoes to heat their homes!
You’ll recall I had a goal to balance my duck fat cocktails and shellfish soups with a good dose of walking … well, from my front door there and back (which admittedly included a lot of airport walking), I clocked 31.2 miles!! Yay.
And for those who have developed a bit of a curiosity about Iceland’s unique climate … the sun rose in Reykjavik this morning at 11:13 am local time and set at 3:30 pm — TWO HOURS less sunlight than when I was there 3 weeks ago! Nine more days and the day will start growing again.
Thanks for keeping me company on my first visit to Iceland! Stay tuned for a heads-up on the next trip! — L

Thanks for sharing your adventure and making me feel guilty for not walking more.

What a fun “virtual” trip for us all! Thanks for the glimpse into a very interesting culture.
