At long last, Iceland

It just took me X months (no comments, please) to post the Iceland pictures but since I was still getting the questions to see them posted, I decided, "what the heck!", I will post them.  Even though it was technically the summer season, you would never have known it looking at the way we were dressed.  For this Texas gal, I froze most of the trip but that did not diminish the enjoyment factor...I would heartily recommend this destination...rugged country and beautiful landscapes, history galore, and believe it or not, really good food.

Iceland ...at its most lovely.....

Loads of lava formations..; over half of Iceland's land mass is made of this stuff.
