I could stay here forever.

The day before yesterday was full of adventure - and I mean adventure.  We went to a waterfall where we hiked around the back of it.  We went to Jókulsalón where we took a boat ride through a lagoon littered with massive icebergs while seals fished around us.  We hiked up the side of a mountain and down onto a glacier where we walked on millions of years-old ice.  We hiked a few miles up to one of the most beautiful places I´ve been, water cascading from perfect columns of hexagon-shaped basalt.  We drove through black sand deltas, through fields of thick, moss covered lava, next to glaciers spilling onto the grass, through fields dotted with rolls of hay that looked just like giant marshmallows, along mountains whose peaks were in the clouds, next to rocky islands jutting out of the water, below dramatic skies of surreal clouds, through sandstorms and windstorms and rainstorms.  It was 15 hours of unbelievable fun, one adventure after another, truly enjoying being together as a family. 

Alas, the pictures won´t be along until next weekend, after I get back.  I don´t want to go back.  Who would when you could be in a place like this?

There are still so many things I want to do, and not enough time to do them all.  We´ve had such a nice balance of adventure and sightseeing mixed with complete peace and quiet.  I just love it here.
