Catching up in Iceland
... as well. We hung out in the water and steam room for a couple of hours, and then went in, showered and tried to untangle my hair from all the healthy stuff in the water which tangles it all up. I had lobster salad at the restaurant at the Lagoon, and we caught the 4:15 bus back to Reykjavik. We went back to the hotel, Trent napped, and then we had dinner at a Balkan restaurant which was really nice. Tuesday we did our first 'tour'. We were lucky it was really more like ...

Saving money
So today we walked around half the city of Reykjavik. It was another amazing day weather wise as we have had sun everyday but the first. There is a breeze, but it did reach the low 60's today. Nicole is pretty much cold all the time and loves the sun, but other than that it is great. We have a great place right downtown close to the main shopping strip and the ocean is only a few blocks away. It has been a great start to our ...
