A travel blog by Scott MacNeill about Iceland
We arrived back in RI on Sunday night and thanks to ANOTHER run in with the Department of Homeland Security we didn't get home till nearly 8:00 p.m.
We had a great time in Iceland and one day we would like to go back to travel the eastern and northern regions.
Before we left Reykjavik to travel the region on Wednesday we actually got to experience Sprengidagur which an Icelandic / Finish holiday that resembles U.S. Halloween. The children dress up and go door to door singing different songs for candy. It was very interesting. This holiday is celebrated every 3rd Wednesday in February.
Before we left on Sunday we stopped in at the Blue Lagoon for one last swim which made the flight home more relaxed.
Below are several pictures that highlight some of our travels. Enjoy!
