Trip across North America and back
We got up after 10 am, missing some of the short daylight. After breakfast we bundled up, due to the gale force winds, and headed to downtown Reykjavik. We went to several different stores, especially those with Icelandic sweaters. Susan got a purse and I got a great sweater. We had lunch at Cafè Babalu. Continue Reading
We arrived around 7 am in Keflavik International Airport. Iceland is on GMT, so though our bodies said 2 am, it was really morning. Neither of us had slept very well. Anyway, we got picked up at the airport by the representative for SAScars to go get our rental. We got a diesel Dacia Duster, Continue Reading

Another long drive. We went Over the Continental Divide twice, at around 8000 feet. The road got even higher. It was genuine high desert. I took a number of pictures from the car, including Lila as she lounged at different parts of the car. We had a wonderful lunch in Cheyenne at the Trip Advisor Continue Reading
