We visited Geysir this week while we were touring the Golden Circle in Iceland. The Golden Circle is an area with lots of natural wonders like the continental rift at Thingvellir National Park, and numerous volcanoes and waterfalls. Geysir is a very active geothermal area in southwest Iceland, about 48 miles from Reykjavik. It contains many small geysers, hot pots, and springs. The geysers erupt ... View Post
Horseback Riding at Laxnes, Iceland
On our second day in Iceland, we went horseback riding at Laxnes Horse Farm, about 30 kilometers out of Reykjavik. Icelandic horses have an interesting history. No horses have been imported from the mainland in over 1000 years, making the breed completely native to Iceland. On top of that, all Icelandic horses have five gaits as supposed to the common four. They have the common gaits: ... View Post

We have been on the Nicoya Peninsula watching wild olive ridley sea ... View Post
I’m Leaving For A Year?!

Also, we’re taking longer walks with the dogs now so that we won’t get tired quickly while touring on the trip. The trip hasn’t felt like it was ... View Post
Costa Rica and Sea Turtle Conservation
We set out to discover a little about Costa Rica and ended up learning a lot about sea turtles, ourselves, and "Pura Vida" or "pure life." This trip was a special add-on to our adventures around the world since we sold our house and didn't really have a place to live in August. So off we went to Costa Rica to do a little volunteer work. Our first day we landed and spent the night at a hotel in ... View Post
