Also, I've been writing in Iceland Eyes for almost a year now, so I thought I'd make a quick link list of some of the more informative posts, so all of you potential visitors will know more of what to expect when you come to our happy little island. Here goes:
Where to Get Good Coffee, Drinking Water, Driving in Iceland, What to Wear (see end of post), Quality Fleece, Taking Care of Your Silver Jewelry, Excursion Resouce, Swimming Pools, Bakeries are Expensive!, The High Cost of Alcohol, Pizza, Reykjavik with Kids, Buying Groceries, Places of Historical Interest, Iceland Airwaves Music Festival in October
That's it for now. You can of course use the blogger search field in the upper left corner of this page to grouse for more info. Or you can just read every single post I've written, can't you?
Wait, one more thing: Snoop Dogg is playing here on July 17th. You can book yourself a $2000 flight here from the States this summer via Icelandair (or a much more reasonably priced one from London Stansted or Copenhagen via Iceland Express) buy a ticket to the show starting June 7th at event.is and enjoy the novelty of seeing the Snoop on the Lava Rock. something too think about, anyway. If we weren't planning Frank Murder's West Coast Tour during that time, I'd definitely go!

Another fantatic picture. Mamma
As you can see from the previous post, Maria Alva got her spelling abilities from her father not from her mother. He, Thor, keeps telling me that spellcheck is there for a reason.
Snoop.
Run, Iceland, Run!
All of your photos are so beautiful.
Thanks for all of the links. They're very helpful.
To Mom: You got the math gene, remember?
Lynda...it is a small world after all, isn't it? Icelanders learn that pretty early on...it seems that a population of 300,000 is just large enough that you are always meeting new people, but small enough that those new people know people you know. Or are your cousins. See, here in Iceland six degrees of separation brings you back to Erik the Red! (As I've mentioned before, I'm only one degree from Kevin Bacon as once, in Seattle in the early Nineties, he flipped his feathered locks in my direction. True story.)
Cy: About Snoop, I think he's super-sly and very funny, West Coast style. ;-)
To Christopher: my parents had an elderly Icelandic woman as a houseguest in California once who, as they took her on the grand scenic tour, commented on each and every natural wonder they saw with "thisreminds me exactly of back home," with a tinge of distain. Dad wondered why she even bothered to travel at all!
But she was right and you are right: in nature, as in life, the more things change, the more they stay the same!
To xmocha!: Ooohh, I think I'll just go ahead and put in a request for a nice big serving of Malaysian sunshine, if you don't mind!
Be sure to let me know if you have any last-minute questions before, or if you need anything while you are here! Where, by the way, are you staying?
another gorgeous photo! and very stark...
Outstanding photo...It is most certainly some of what I want to photograph when I make to the Island.
Yay...happy almost aniversary. Keep the goods coming our way. We need you Maria. I think I'm going to give Snoop a miss but while your planning Thorgeir's tour I think a stop in Nelson would be a good idea.
Mwuhahahha! i will have a blog, yes! Oh and that pic looks like the entrance to Elfland
Hmm..., digdug, Austin sounds very tempting and Lovewine, Nelson too!
Right now we're working on Seattle and SF. If we were offered paying gigs, we'd travel just about anywhere...
(nudge nudge, wink wink!)
