West Fjords Pit Stop

A megameter is tough to travel without at least one mechanical. Good thing that Papa got lots of help on this one.

Hólmavík

A beautiful fishing village in the eastern nook of the west fjords. We enjoyed the late night serenade of Iceland's top country crooner. A welcome respite to the calm quiet of the night. The morning greeted us with shivers from our super-z and now we turn south and west to our summer home in Iceland's capital.

Award Winner

Congratulations on a wonderful year on the swim team. What started with a brave and impromptu jump headlong into the practice life continued on to a first time north of 2 minutes for one length of the pool and finished with a time of less than 50 seconds for the same test. We ate so proud of all you have accomplished.
