Hello everybody. We skated over England's worst rain in twenty years to Scotland where the weather cleared up nicely. We sailed over the Atlantic again in smooth air hoping to fuel in Iceland and get over to Greenland. After a great landing and fast fueling we found that Greenland is closed on Sunday so we hunkered down in Reykjavic for the night. We managed to get out of the city this time and soon found ourselves in the middle of the most barren, desolate, black rocky terrain I have ever seen. As the sun sllooowly sank into the horizon we saw huge columns of steam rising from the geothermal hotspot we were travelling towards to hit the local spa. The Blue Lagoon was full of milky blueish whitish water and tourists from all over. The steam caves were great and we indulged in silica treatments. Nice! The weather looks great for a touchdown on U.S. soil tomorrow at 10:00 A.M. Keep your fingers crossed that the forecast holds.
Wow, what an incredible spot. Be safe on the flight over and it has been a kick following your trip..Davis
ReplyDeleteWelcome Home! Thanks to both of you for keeping us up-to-date via the blog. I traveled with you vicariously. What a different world. I can't even imagine the needs of those folks. While I have very mixed emotions about any missionary effort on behalf of any religious philosophy, it seems to me that if it includes such good works as these people do, I can't dislike totally. And what an adventure. I always hoped the JetA (did you say Jet1A??) was clean. Get some rest and enjoy the holiday. Then take a few days to return to Mountain Time and reality. (BTW, Randy, the expanded, re-done home looks great. Kudos to Nikk.) HAPPY THANKSGIVING.
