Quiz: Where is Marissa Going?

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 30^th 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...

• 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!

Any guesses?

I'll be back the week after next with lots of pictures of my mystery location...see you then!  😘
