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.

Hey everyone,

So, I'll be going to Europe for two whole months with my family, starting tomarrow. Our plane leaves at 9:30pm. I'm really excited about this summer. I plan on seeing a lot of amazing things, visiting places with a lot of culture, and just basically having the summer of my life. Well, I guess I'll have more to say once we finally get there. The first place to visit will be Iceland. They say that the temperature is going to be in the 50's during the days and should hit about 30's in the evening. Although it's going to be this cold, the people who are house exchanging with us told us to bring our bathingsuits. I guess there are natural springs there that we'll be going in. Should be very exciting. Well, I'll keep you all in touch with my trip as much as I can. Talk to you in ICELAND!
With love,
LRC
