Today we had our first professional tour in Iceland - called the South Coast of Iceland Tour. We went from Selfoss to Vik the most southerly city in Iceland. It was supposed to be a nice day but as you can tell from our pictures is was not too great. We only saw the sun for a few minutes and we were told the winds were an average of 40 MPH. Sometimes the 18 passenger mini bus was practically blown off the road and at times you could not walk forward or you would get blown so hard you would be running. We saw all before except for the beach when we went to Vik in November to teach an investigator. It was fun though to hear the tour guide explain lots of folk lore and other items. Of course since Eileen went to the library when we arrived in Iceland and got the most famous saga (history of Iceland in 1100) we had heard most but it was fun to get the extra and now we have more to share with our family when they visit.
ther interesting items. Most of the folk lore and history Eileen had already told us as one of the first things she did when we got to Iceland was go to the library and get the most famous of the Icelandic Sagas (history of Iceland in the 1100's). We now know more though than before so we can share even more with our family when they come to visit.

The rock columns look like a travel show we watched on Ireland. A whole island of those column rocks broken up, a bit like Devils Tower, just shorter.
Beautiful pictures.
