Exploring the countryside has yielded a lot of pictures, so I’m breaking each event into separate posts.

The first stop was Gullfoss, Icelandic for “Golden Falls,” which is the largest waterfall in the country. These pictures just can’t do the landscape here justice. Everything is so big and majestic and almost scary. It’s also really cool to think that it’s virtually unchanged from 1000 years ago. This country could easily have been the setting for the LOTR movies. As such, I did my share of Golluming around the waterfall, getting pretty much soaking wet and eating wild blueberries off of moss-covered cliffs. And I’m still alive!
