The Iceland journey has come to a halfway mark...

Im very sad that in just 8 short days I'll have to leave my temporary home and all the amazing people I'm with. Although, it has been an incredible experience.

So far, the eleventh day here was my absolute favorite. The day consisted of hiking on Vatnajökull, one of the largest glaciers in Europe. It was so breathtaking...I wish I could go back and experience it all over again. The glacier's cracks were filled with beautiful blue water. Our tour guide even told us to take a sip of the icy water and I gladly did as he recommended. The water tasted so fresh and was just what I needed during the five hour hike. Even though it was long, I loved every minute of the adventure. After that, we got in the car and drove to a glacier lagoon about forty minutes away. On one side, glaciers floated in the ocean water and waves crashed against them and ice covered the black sand beach. On the other side, glaciers floated in perfectly still water, it was very calming to look at. I want to go back but these last eight days hold new, amazing adventures and I'm very excited to see what they bring and how they effect me as a person.
