Since you two are clearly that only ones that care, I will just adress this post to you.
That sucks Tricia about the flights. Probably something will come up agan, just keep looking. I´m still in for Morocco if everyone else is. Heck I´ll go alone.
Went into a great knitting store yesterday. They were selling lopi light for 350kroner (around $4). Does the website say how much it is at that factory? She had the skirt I want to make there. It was in brown...and so pretty. Also go a great idea for a felted hat from ones I´ve seen in the tourist shops. Hotmail won´t work on this computer so I can´t check to see if you emailed me the link for the directions. If you want wool for any specific pattern just tell me, as they will probably have all the books there and I could get it for you. I will try my best to get there.
Had the best bus ride ever yesterday. The fun began shortly out of Rekyjavik with about 30 horses blocking the road for 10 minutes. Then it was sheep at random times. I hadn´t realized what our bus pass entitled us to, so we ended up going to geysir and gulfoss again (meaning I wasted 100 each on the tour....oh well). But it was nice to see it again. Then the craziest roads ever and just dirt roads. Thank god I didn´t decide to rent a car....I can´t imagine driving on these roads. The driver kept letting us off for "photo stops" and then frantically counting after to make sure he wasn´t leaving anyone in the wilderness. There was seriously no houses for 5 hours of the trip. Definate wilderness. We had lunch at a nice hot spring.
Keeping up the tradition of nightly swims in the local hot pool. I love it. Plus then I don´t have to use the dirty shower at the camp ground. They make you shower naked before and after the swim in an open shower room, which is kinda uncomfortably but whatever.
Today we went whale watching. We saw a humpback whale, minkes whale, and about 10 dolphins. We both suck at getting good pictures, but it was funner just watching them. Sorry no pictures yet, internet is cheapest at the libaries but no USB ports. And I was too cheap to do it in Reykjavik where it was so expensive.
Tomorrow going to Myvatn for the weekend and probably doing an overnight canyon hike.

Mom and Dad are in NB for Lisa's wedding and thus not reading. No one else probably realizes you're gone.
What kind of Lopi for $4, lett (light) or regular? I don't have anything specific in mind, and no the website does not say how much at the factory. But if it's Lett Lopi than I can get that for $4.50 at Ram Wools. Probably not worth hauling around.
Will email link tomorrow.
I read your blog faithfully and enjoy your chronicles. :) I just don't comment, I'm sucky for that. But I do read it! I have you on an RSS feed so my browser tells me when you've updated, and then I get all excited to read about what you've been up to. Glad you're having a good time, I will get to Iceland someday!
Sounds like you are having lots of fun. Wool shopping sounds like fun. I have Emma-Rose and Nathan here for a few days and Emma-Rose is finally learning how to crochet,it was a happy moment, we will be learning a new stitch today.Still looking forward to photo's.
