Finally - we're here in Iceland! Getting acclimated has been half the fun (and challenge) so this may not be a long entry as it's almost midnight and we didn't get much sleep last night. We've completely lucked out and brought the perfect weather we had in Canada here to Iceland. It's been nothing but sunny and pleasant with highs in the upper 60's. The most surprising thing to get used to is the fact that it never gets dark this time of year - it is so bizarre to look out your window at 2 a.m. and it looks like 9 p.m. on a Seattle summer evening. Too wild!! Thank God for light blocking drapes - that's all I can say!
The other adjustment has been getting used to the sulfur smell that comes out of the tap and shower because of the geothermal energy they use to heat the city. I'm sure the locals are used to it but it does make brushing your teeth a challenging experience. Oh well.....a little rotten egg smell never hurt anyone, right???
More to come soon - I promise!!
Buenas Noches,
David
