This initial entry will be brief as I'm 5 days into the
trip and am simply way to busy during this part of the trip to write much. I'll
include a few photos, however, to satisfy at least my family and friends who
are mildly curious.
Sept. 4 – Left Austin in the early morning for New York
City. Had a (planned) 8-hour layover at JFK which gave me enough time to take
the subway into the City and view the World Trade Center Memorial and have
lunch at some (any) unique place.
That evening, I caught a late flight to Iceland, arriving
early the next morning in time to pick up a rent car. Since them, I have driven
about 600 miles, which is 2/3 the way around (clockwise) the island, camping
for 4 nights – so far. Tonight I am staying in a hostel because the weather is
miserable – rain and cold….and they have Internet.
I have found Iceland to be quite amazing. If you are
wondering why did I choose to travel here, I'd have to say it is to satisfy my
curiosity about the dynamic and varied geological features found in this place.
My interest in things geological began in college. As most of you know, my
degree from the University of Texas is in International Business. However, that
degree requires a year of some science. I chose Geology and since then, I've
been quite curious about that stuff.
OK, enough writing for the moment…here are some more photos...
