A Beautiful Day by Laugarvatn
[Written 15 September 2013. Grrr.]
Our travel-partners, Guðrún and Snorri, headed back to the city around lunch on the Bank Holiday Monday to beat the traffic. Shortly after they’d left, we got a phone-call from Holla and Óli who told us they were close by, and asked if they could stop by for tea-time.
Not only did they stop by with materials to make American Pancakes (Holla is a kitchen goddess!) but we convinced them to chill and stay the night. Which they did. We even played Pandemic!
Lucky for all of us, the following day (Tuesday) was GORGEOUS. Here are some pics (10 total).

A lot of trees got planted around the summer house almost twenty years ago (Finnur and I had just gotten together, I still remember the tiny plants sticking out of the mud). Now these trees are BIG, and therefore cut down on the wind, but they also cut down on the view – except towards Mt. Hekla, seen here.
