Icelandic landscapes from our journey from Southeast to Northeast Iceland these past few days.

We’ve been traveling while Mercury has been in Retrograde. I don’t really know what that means, but I have learned over the years to pay attention to when this happens. Needless to say, I’ve had my share of amusing stories to share. However, it is past midnight at the moment (not that you’d know it looking out our window) and I need to strap on my eye mask and catch some Zs!  How’s that for a tease? 😉 I promise to follow up if I can catch up with myself.

My brand new friend Inga took us to her hometown wool shop near Sellfoss where they had this beautiful bowl of fruit.

I’m back in Iceland! Arrived on Sunday and have been in Reykjavik, Selfoss, the Golden Circle, and the South Coast.  My friend Ivy is traveling with me and we are awestruck by the beauty we see everywhere.

Many of the places we’ve been so far are places I visited on my first visit earlier this year in March. It’s certainly warmer this time of year and there is plenty of daylight (the sun never sets all the way). What was brown and icy is now lush and green.

Today is the start of new landscapes and terrain… places I’ve never seen before. I can’t wait!
