Thursday, March 26: Weather Warning (Iceland)

As predicted, Thursday brought a country-wide level-two weather warning, with many road closures and the requirement to stay home. So we did, and we were all happy to be forced to spend the day in our beautiful Air BnB as wind and snow raged outside. We put a fire on and read, played No Thanks, and watched both Frozen movies in honor of the literal frozen landscape. Lucia, Greta, Mom, and Dad, had a gin tournament. Andrew did some work. It was delightful. This is the best vacation rental we've ever had.

The warning lifted in the late afternoon, so we ventured into Selfoss to go into a couple of shops, and then we had dinner at the Old Dairy Food Hall: pizza from Flatey's (Andrew, Dad, the girls); fish and chips for Mom and lamb soup for me from Samuelsson's. All delicious. 

Then we went back home and enjoyed the hot tub and sauna one last time. Walking through snow in our bare feet is now old hat for us.

Tomorrow is departure day. None of us want to leave, especially since we have not seen the Northern Lights. That was the one disappointment of the trip. Alas. We are all packed up, and leave we must.
