Argh!

Sorry, I just spent an hour putting together today's blog and the connection dumped it all. Sooo... Try number 2 - you're getting a shorter version...
Scenery like northern Utah & a lot of Idaho including Craters of the Moon. Idaho doesn't, however, have moss covered lava fields.
One lane bridges like New Zealand. Courtesy rules!
Glaciers, the world's largest sandur (took us close to an hour to drive across it!)
Sheep everywhere including in the road, always alive, never DOR.
Photos? Oh yes...
Vik, the southernmost point in Iceland. The rocks off the point are the Troll Rocks formed when the trolls stole a sailing ship but were caught in the sun which turned them and the ship to stone. The black sand beaches are beautiful and the seafood heavenly! Not much is spent on architects but would you if you lived under a volcano set to explode again? We moved right along...
Our last stop was to see the birthplace of Iceland's icebergs. When we stopped for the night we had the local beer that's made from those icebergs and flavored with local Arctic thyme. (As I enjoyed my beer, and, yes, it was good, I tried not to wonder how they got all that silt out of the thousand year old ice...)
