Biking To Elliưavatn & Mushroom Hunting

Today was one of those breathtaking days here in Iceland. It’s Autumn, there is more than a slight chill in the air and the sun is getting lower on the horizon

Below are some pics from a bike ride to Elliưavatn along with a bunch of mushrooms I found along the way. Apologies for the bad quality of the photos, I forgot my camera and used my crappy cell phone.

Oh yeah and I saw lots of cute bunnies, that was nice :-)

Moving! Moving!

August 14th, 2009

I have been debating where to move for the past few months (Seattle or Portland) after my visa expires and I finally decided on Portland Oregon. So raise your glass for that one!

Not an easy decision but everyone I spoke with leaned towards Portland, and the city looks to have a lot of what I am looking for. Only downside, it is not on the ocean.

I am already getting all misty-eyed about leaving Iceland, but I hope to return for some extended summer vacations and who knows I may live here again.

Moving will happen around Sept 30. Fun! fun!

Let the great apartment search commence!
