Last Horah!

Reykjavik, Iceland

I have a few minutes while waiting for a bus to Vik so I thought I would get this post out of the way. I just wanted to say thanks so much all you people who went camping (and those who tried to go and got lost). It was a great weekend and a great send off to this trip. For those who didn´t make it, the campground was on this lake:

Interlakes campground

For those who did come, here are the photos from my shenanigans with Matt and Jeremy. It was a balmy 15 degrees outside so we thought we would take a little dip in the south Interlakes... They should have called it Snowmelt Lake.


Me, Matt and Jeremy testing the waters.

Me cowering and Jeremy screaming like a little girl as matt Jumps in.


Jeremy continues his 8 year old girl impression.

Me pretending it wasn´t cold at all.


Anyway, I was gonna write some deep message about all the emotions of my last couple days in Calgary, but now that I´m out here, it seems kinda vain. I think I´ll just settle for: it was the easiest, hard thing I´ve ever done.

I´ll be back in touch in a couple days to post about Iceland. Lates!


p.s. they have awesome keyboards here. æ, µ, ð, Ö and € are all rocking the alphabet like it´s 1435. Old English styles baby! I think I saw all that stuff reading Chaucer! Still don´t know how to pronounce them though...

Just a Quick Note

Calgary, Alberta, Canada

I just wanted to drop a quick message before I left. I am half way done a larger post with a few pictures from last weekend's send-off party but I just plain ran out of time to write it. Who knew packing could be so much work?

I am off to the airport now and in about 12 hours time I will be landing in Iceland where I will finish the post and after a few days write another one about how kick-ass the country is!

See you all when I get back! I expect you all to pour a beer in the street for me next time you go drinking!
