Last night

I hate to leave because I know that there is still so much of this wonderful country that we have not seen and so many activities that we have not done. This is one country that I will be coming back to at some point in the future. Two nights we went to a Christmas concert at Hallgrímskirkja the Lutheran church which happens to be the tallest building in Iceland. A choir of 60 men and women say like angels. We didn't know or understand any of the song until the very end when they sang Silent Night. It didn't matter what they sang...it was spectacular!


Last night we went to see the northern lights which was a harrowing event. Four hours outside in the wind and cold, surrounded by frozen, drunk British tourist. We did see some lights and I was told that on a scale of 1 to 10 these were a 2.5. Oh well. I had fun.


What can I say, if ever you get a chance and want to visit a country that is breath taking, has friendly people, where you can have your choice of activities from scuba, snowmobiling, mountain climbing, caving, horseback riding, whale watching, jeep adventures, and the list goes on...I highly recommend Iceland. Maybe in the summer when there is more than four hours of light..more like 20 hours of light.


I do have to say that my body (even if I live is Saskatchewan) had a hard time getting used to the sun coming up at 11am and just when it comes over the horizon, it starts to set again. 


I want to stay longer....there will be a next time...
