Ginger count for the day: 2 super gingers and three regular gingers Agenda for the day: Rock of Cashel, Cork So Dani and I drug ourselves out of bed at 11:00 or so, effectively missing our breakfast and confusing our (maybe just my) circadian rhythm for the day.

Iceland Day 3

Hi Wonderful People! So today the weather here in Reykjavik was overcast, chilly, and very blustery. But it didn’t keep Madre and me from exploring! We had a pretty laid back day, only walking about eight miles to tour the island of Videy (it has a weird d thingy that makes the pronunciation more likeContinue reading “Iceland Day 3”
