Homeward Bound!

Cheerful and goofy in the way to Heathrow!

Thanks!

We stayed with our friends Karl and Alison, and we all had a great time!  Thanks so much for playing with me!

Hot Pot

In Iceland, this is what they call a hot pot!  But Dad and I are what is being cooked. 

And this is the thermally heated bit of the ocean!  We're swimming in the ocean in ICELAND!

Viðey 3

Wanna come exploring with me?

We're off!

Viðey 2

ICELAND IS AMAZING.  Too bad we have to leave.....!

Viðey 1

 Just clowning in mom's hat.  Inside out.  On Viðey Island, off the coast at Reykjavik.

Hveragerði, Bioling Eggs

 We boiled an egg in a hot spring at Hveragerði!

We should do all our cooking, this way, now!

Kerið

We pulled off the road for a volcanic crater at Kerið!

It was gorgeous, so we took lots of photos. 

This place is GORGEOUS!

Þingvellir!

 This is where we are in Þingvellir!

I CAN'T BELIEVE WE ARE IN ICELAND!

I think I see a troll...

Spritz Cookies!

We found a cookie spritzer maker thing! 

So we baked cookies!

Bike (?)

Cool bike-bike racks!

Þúfa

We found a hill to climb. 

So we climbed it! 

What a view!

Iceland!

We've arrived in Iceland!  Iceland!  Land of Elves and Trolls and Vikings!

AND of the "Dasamlegur Büllushake," which Google translates as "Wondrous Bull Shake."  It was wondrous, indeed.

Locks

There are bridges in Paris where people put locks for good luck.

You put on the lock...

Lock it up...

And then toss the key in the river!

Bye bye, Paris!  Au revoir!

Churros

Churros!!!

That is all. 

Pompidou Center

Just drawing on the walls of the Pompidou Center!

Nice exhibition, no?

Also, liked these spheres in various sizes.

Glad they were open late!

Joan of Arc

We're taking Paris by storm!

Le Tour Eiffel!

We're going up there?  Really...?

 It doesn't look like tooooo many stairs...

 SNACK BREAK on LEVEL 2!

 Dad, we're goin' all the way to the top.

 WE DID IT!

If only they sold souvenirs so that we'd have something to remember it all by... 

Paris!

A nice, relaxing train ride to Paris!  Dad read a lot, and chatted with the French guy next to him.  Mom and I, well....

We're here!  We're here! 

C'mon, Mom!  The apartment is this way!

Tea Time

We had a lovely, proper tea at the Wallace Collection.

The bread was TAAAASTY! 

And we behaved like proper English lords and ladies.  And, with that, the threw us out of the country, so we're off to Paris!*
