have you been to iceland?

we are going in april so please tell us what you know!

Our landlord (whom you've met!) has gone several times and I am always so envious to hear her stories and see her pictures b/c it looks like an amazing place.

i played in a basketball tournament in iceland a while ago

if you decide to hoop it up, be prepared to be fouled a great deal

one of the worst things you could do to my older sister would be invite her to iceland in a mumbly voice and then take her to miceland instead.

mumbles gone to miceland

mime going to miceland

basil likes hiking.

!!! we didn't think we'd get to see northern lights but maybe !!!

seeing the northern lights is my main goal in life

The other day i saw a lady sitting on her stoop reading a book and i thought of dear lxy. Then i noticed she had a cat on a leash! It was hanging out in the yard. So harbl maybe this cat hiking thing could work!

smoove have u seen the southern lights

haha my cat would kill me if i tried to leash her!

My neighbor said we might be able to see northern lights but I couldn't find any instructions about where to look :(

xps no ;_;

i did see an amazing shooting star last night - we were driving up the I-5 from LA, the sun had set but the horizon was still bluish, and there was an incredibly bright meteor with a long tail.

Southern lights Have You Ever seen A

New App Prevents Icelanders from Sleeping With their Relatives

monday!

we're going to the place in the picture jaq posted above, which, it turns out, has much historical importance, being that it is the site where iceland's parliament was founded in 930. the oldest parliament in the world.

also we're going to geysir, which all geysers are named after. only it's dormant. but there's another one nearby that's active.

and to snæfellsnes, which i've been saying over and over since i first heard of it.

and to the blue lagoon. and to reykjavik, of course.

i think i am going to love iceland.

ughhhhh i want to go there!

have a great trip!

Yay!

aw, have a great trip dear friends.

i hope iceland is super niceland!

<3 to all <3

can we expect postcards from iceland???

have a great trip! <3

yes ruby!

there is a harbl look-alike in this restaurant-bar!

ps it's really fucking cold here

lol

it's warm in the lagoon tho

yep, that's the first thing we did after getting here! pretty amazing!

mookie, what time of year were you here? did you know about all the rocks before coming? what was your favorite thing about your trip? did your team win the tournament?

oops too late!

i was there for basically a long weekend in january. because of the basketball, we were only in reykjavik with a trip to the lagoon.

we finished second -- lost to some former icelandic national team players in their 40s. i was guarding/guarded by one-time laker pétur guðmundsson, who is 7'2". it didn't go well, although he was a super nice guy.

i had a great time, slightly tarnished by drinking too much one night. also i am apparently a good dancer by icelandic standards? probably remembering that part wrong.

i can't stop watching this:

jel

i hope you have the best time!! do you have an itinerary?

working on it lol

a polar bear washed up in iceland (on an iceberg from greenland, presumably) today and they had to kill it : /

make meeting this cat this part of the itinerary

A calico cat called Petah started small, bringing in plastic wrappings and packets of gum. Then it escalated to mittens and baby socks. But now she is bringing home sweatpants, warm sweaters and the occasional teddy bear.
