One of the 'ups' was really a 'high'- the five of us went to explore Iceland this past summer: for one week we inhaled the fresh air as much as we could, we climbed a bit, hiked a bit, drove a lot, took a million pictures and barely scratched the surface of capturing this island.
Lava, rock formations born under water, craters, mud pots, geysers, a million waterfalls, and a vastness and wideness that is difficult to explain.
We all fell in love with the remote east-fjords. So much exhaling too, in trying to take it all in.
Oh, and, did I mention the glaciers and black sand beaches?
The best part was of course, that we were all together in this adventure. My love and I with these lovely people (sorry, it seems nearly impossible to get a picture of Thijs with his eyes open...)
