III-- Iceland

This is the third travel blog i've done.  I asked myself before starting this one... why did i still feel the need to keep each blog separate?  Shouldn't I just have one blog for all my travels?  And I came to the realization that no, I wanted them that way.  Because each trip is it's own.  And it shouldn't have to share anything with trips before, or trips after.  It's just what it is.

So Iceland is its own.  I've no idea what to expect.  I feel like it will be similar to other extreme areas I've visited... Alaska, New Zealand, Patagonia.  Yet, I'm a seasoned enough traveler to know not to have expectations.  

Instead I have hopes... I'm hoping to hear thundering water, I'm hoping to take dips in hotsprings, I'm hoping to see geysers, I'm hoping I can sleep... without darkness. I'm hoping that the puffin will taste as good as I've been promised it is....  "like salmon" i've been told.

We'll see... thursday I depart.

    You might also want to try sheep's head and ram testicles.

    Of course, I'm sure all the food will be delicious and you'll probably be eating more trout and salmon than anything else. Yum!
