Today’s post is an abbreviated one,
because I’m presently scurrying around folding and packing and otherwise
getting ready to get on a airplane later on this evening. I’ll be gone ten
days, so next week’s post will be a “blast from the past” while I’m off
gallivanting with my DH. This trip is our belated 30th anniversary
celebration (because we’ve now been married 31+ years!) but well worth the
wait.
Where are we going? We’re
going to—
Hmm. Nope. Not gonna make it easy.
You’re going to have to take a quiz to figure out where we’re headed, partly because it's a fascinating place and partly because I'm a tease. 😉
Are you ready? Here it goes...
Are you ready? Here it goes...
- This place is one of the breeding grounds of a well-known type of bird sometimes called the ‘sea parrot.’
- The name of a certain location in this place, Geysir, has become the word for all other places of a similar type.
- The language spoken here still bears a strong resemblance to its early medieval form.
- One of the world’s oldest Parliaments, the Althing, dating to the tenth century AD, meets here.
- This place is one of the two locations on earth where you can see the meeting of two tectonic plates above the surface of the earth.
- There are no mosquitoes here!
I'll be back the week after next with lots of pictures of my mystery location...see you then! 😘

I won't answer because I read your destination somewhere else. However, the word is, forget the fermented shark but the bread and skyr are to die for.
Is it Iceland?
Ha, Anne! I tried the fermented shark yesterday at the farm of the family that makes it. Not a fan, but yes, the bread has been amazing. And I've been having enough smoked fish to keep me happy.
And yes, Daisy, that's exactly where I am!
