We left Logan Int'l at 8:35 pm on Saturday and landed at 6:40 am on Sunday at Keflavik Airport. It's a short 5 hour flight overnight, and Kathy and Axel were so kind to pick us up at the airport. After a quick nap to re-calibrate, Kathy and Axel picked us up for our introduction to Iceland.
We visited Thingvellir, where the first Parliament met. There's a continental divide here and I guess it is constantly moving. Like a few inches a day. The visitor center is built exactly the width of 1000 years movement.


We also saw a geyser, or shall I say, the Geysir. Apparently geysers are named after this particular geyser named Geysir. The Icelandic word for geyser is actually some other word. Other things we saw: big waterfall called Gullfoss ("golden falls"), a big dormant volcano crater, and oh yeah! Axel's family cave. He apparently has ancestor's who apparently lived or were born in a cave out in the country. Strange thing, we found a geocache hidden in the family cave. So in case you are geocacher, there's one in Iceland!
