And That’s the End of the US Visitors…

All good things must come to an end. Boohoo. (14 images total)
Wednesday 9 July 2014 – Thingvellir
The day after we drove to visit the Seljalandsfoss waterfall, and the Sólheimajökull glacier, we packed up, cleaned, and drove back to the capital area.
As promised, we stopped by Thingvellir on the way. We hiked up to the Öxarárfoss waterfall, where Finnur flew his drone. I did not take a single picture, I don’t know why. (Well, I took a few pictures of a couple using their camera, but that was it.)
The following Thursday and Friday were quiet days. We were all plenty tired, and the travelers needed to charge their batteries for the trip back.
Thursday 10 July 2014 – Fancy Dinner
Morning computer time in session.
I’m pretty sure this was the evening where Sarah’s parents babysat for us while the rest of the adults went out to have a fancy dinner downtown.
Friday 11 July 2014 – Swimming/Packing Day!
Augusto was en fuego, and took kids to two swimming pools that day! Our local one (the one they visited the first day, Salalaug), and the other pool in our town, Kópavogslaug.
Meanwhile, there was packing.
In the evening, soap bubbles suddenly appeared outside the living room window. Turns out Anna was blowing them out of her window!
Packing mostly done. We needed to leave for the airport at 07:45 the morning after.
But first, a game of pinochle!!
Well, that’s a crappy hand! Five nine and NO ace would have allowed me to call for a redeal. Pesky ace! Still, I think Augusto and I dominated this game and we got to four hundred before 1 am…
To make things simpler, Sarah’s parents stayed at our place that night, while Augusto slept on the sofa and Sarah got one of Clarissa’s mattresses.
Saturday 12 July 2014 – Departure Day
We woke up bright and early, and were out the door pretty much on time.
The laptop is always one of the last things to be packed.
Daughter and mother looking uncannily alike.
Time to hug goodbye!
We had to bring both cars to the airport, because somebody needed to drive the jeep back. We left the big kids with their beloved computers, while Emma rode with us.
Thirty-five minutes later, we were at Keflavik airport.
Jason wary of the person with the camera.
Some chatting while the car was being emptied.
The whole gang!
Bye guys! Hope to see you again in a few years!! 🙂
And that was the end of the US visitors. Sniffles.
