Really?!!

That´s what jessa and I kept saying all day yesterday. "Really?!!" The scenery here is so beautiful it blows our minds. earth houses with gigantic waterfalls behind them. You walk to the top of a thundering fall, only to find a gorgeous wide cascade directly behind it. Basically, there is a glacier on the top of a large plateau so rather than having rivers run out the bottom of a glacier you have waterfalls falling off of it. Amazing. Then 5 km down the road we are at a black sand beach with large seastacks and cliffs filled with puffins. The artic terns are so plentiful you would think they were gulls. And our campsite in town at the base of the cliffs is one of the prettiest i´ve been in and it came complete with showers, and a kitchen. We aren´t exactly roughing it. But luckily we´ve been better about budget. We need to. Reykjavik was a bit of a splurge. But it was worth it. Jessa and I had a mink whale kabob and some lobster soup. I recommend the soup over the whale. Mink whale tastes exactly like steak, with a fish aftertaste. And, as Jessa said, "I wouldn´t order it again. I mean, when is the last time you said 'I sure wish my steak had more fish taste in it'" I agreed completely.

Internet access is extremely difficult to find. Apparently you are supposed to travel with your laptop. Wifi everywhere but no public computers and the internet in our hotel in reykjavik broke after my last post. I´ll do my best to update you but posts will likely be few and far between. Today we are off to the glacier!
