Day 319 is lucky




















You folks are in for a treat! Even though I was already back from Iceland on Day 319, I'm posting a waterfall photo from south Iceland. Basically, I was in a foul mood upon my return, got out of work late, ate dinner and went to bed at 8:30 p.m. Trust me, this is a better photo than my office parking lot.

Day 318 feels blue

























Shortly before we made our way to the airport we stopped at the famed Blue Lagoon spa. Amazingly beautiful! Sadly, the weather was a little crazy (super windy and rainy), but the water was still great. Yes, that is the actual color.

Day 317 goes to a glacier




















GLACIER!

Day 316 is relaxed

























Fontana spa in south Iceland - probably my favorite part of my trip. First of all, we had the facilities to ourselves before it opened to the public. Awesome. After changing into bathing suits and grabbing robes, we entered the steam rooms built above geysers. Incredible. I probably sweat off ten pounds. Then we stopped in the sauna before slipping into the warm natural mineral waters. So relaxing! The view isn't too shabby either. All day access to the spa - $20. Unheard of! I want to go to there! Again!

Day 315 goes to the opera




















On a short tour of Reykjavik, we stopped at a new event space, Harpa. The huge building is home to the opera, concerts, meetings and conventions. The windows have a beautiful effect against the skyline. I love Iceland!

Day 314, or is it?




















After a crazy flight, I finally made it to Iceland! My internal time clock was very confused when we arrived early morning, Iceland-time. So technically this photo is a day late. Whatevs. That's the President of Iceland's house! Meeting him (and having pancakes with him) was our first stop after dropping our things off at the hotel. Absolutely no security around the property - crazy huh? Such a beautiful location. We really lucked out with nice weather!

Day 310's boots are made for walking





















I've been busy recently, partly, because I'm going to Iceland for work! I'm very excited to go, but have a bunch of stuff to do before leaving. Including buying some cold-weather appropriate clothes, namely shoes. I found these bad boys at DSW. Supposedly they are meant for cold damp weather - perfect. They are super warm. I can't wait to model them on my trip!
