Dear Reader,

I'm home! Has been this way for about a week... I know I know, not keeping up on the blog... its nasty. The last day in Iceland was spent geocaching with the Bragi-unit, taking us all over the Reykjanes peninsula, and finished off by meeting with some friends of friends; Icelander connections with some of my friends back in the states. It was here, after walking through sun drenched, long shadowed Reykjavik that we arrived at the BUS STATION, where I proceeded to indulge in an icelandic delicacy, SHEEP HEAD! You gatta eat everything with sheep head, and I'll tell you this, it looked worse then it was. After that and a quick coffee, I was off to pack.

The next day I arrived at the airport with a startling message... "you have been upgraded to business class"... and I remembered a few details from the night:
1.) Eddarós works for Iceland express
2.) I mentioned something to the extent of "It will be a significant day when I fly in first class for the first time"

This explained it... being the genius she is, talked to someone at Iceland air (the airline I was to fly back to the states on) and upgraded me into the most comfy seat I've ever been in. The wheels left that northern island and I stretched full out, filming the land reseeding behind us and a great expanse of low fog and blue sky widening before us. It was the best sendoff I could have imagined.

Sitting in bed, watching the dappled sunlight lazily stream and fall through the window, contemplating all that I saw and experienced there, I present to you the entirety of the photos and videos (over 1200 items!) I collected throughout this journey, laid out in three galleries.
