Welcome to Iceland

The time has finally come for some pictures! As promised, here's the first batch — my favorite shots from both Reykjavik and Keflavik, Iceland.

Welcome to Reykjavik

 These were some of the first three pictures that I took upon our arrival, and they're also some of my favorites. At this point, we'd just checked into the place we were staying, and were on a hunt to find Hallgrimskirkja (below).

Inside, there's a beautiful pipe organ (whose music was sadly drowned out by the fact that they were currently doing repairs on the exterior, but whose physical beauty was in no way dampened).

Pay a small fee, and from here you get to go all the way to the top of the tower, and see all around the little town of Reykjavik.

It's a quaint little town, even by the look of it. It's very much a seaside village, from the colored roofs to the sweet people within. Everyone we met in Reykjavik was kind and helpful, and honestly, I think they enjoyed hearing how badly we attempted to pronounce anything in their language.

From here, we move on to an even smaller town, one that unfortunately had no tower from which I could photograph it: Keflavik.

If possible, I think Keflavik is actually cuter than Reykjavik. I mean, really. Look at that cute red house! The city is very tiny though, so if you're looking for tourist things to do, don't try it. But if you're looking for a nice walk along the coast, Keflavik has it. 

I'll save you the trouble of asking by saying that we were cold. Not freezing, mind you, but cold. It was the wind. We walked along the coast for the better part of a couple hours, ending up on these rocks where we could look down at the bluest blue water below. Opportune time for a selfie!

Our adventures in Iceland ended there, as the next morning (dark and early) we made our way to Dublin.

I'll also be posting pictures on my Facebook page, more extensively so you can really see some of the things we got to do, but all of you are the first to see the pictures that go along with my former blogs.

Again, thank you so much for following us through Europe! We had a blast, and we really, honestly, can't wait to go back. We might already be planning the next trip.
