So, we're finally arrived here in Iceland. And now I can personally verify for you all that it's a huge island of mountainous wasteland. There are absolutely NO TREES in the entire country! It's beautiful none the less. Our house is right on the ocean although it's unfortunate that the water is so cold, or I would have already gone for a dip. But, no we arrived here and got groceries about 2 hours away from our house. BTW, you have to pay 25 cents for every plastic bag you get here. I guess that's their way of saving the world from global warming. Anyway, the car ride from the airport to our humble abode (in the middle of no-mans land) was exactly 4 and 1/2 hours. Yep, so I slept most of the way, but I also got some pretty amazing pictures too. I also learned that this (Iceland) is where the astronauts from NASA train for the moon, because iceland is the closest atmosphere like place to the moon that we have here on earth. Well, I have to go to bed now, even though it's as bright out as the middle of the day. so good night, and i'll be keeping you updated.
