Finally Going to Iceland!

What a remarkable night that was!   We didn’t even have to stay up until three to see the Lights!   I scramble up the TALL steps to my “upper bunk” and sleep like the proverbial. I even wake up early, refreshed and excited to see what today holds!   It’s an easy one and Hildur doesn’t care when we leave! Sigi brings our HUGE breakfast basket around nine forty-five and that marvelous dog is with him!   He leans against my leg and eventually lies down on my feet!   I love dogs!   (Just too lazy, and travel too much, to have another one!). Everything you can imagine is in the basket, and we get a further lesson in how sheep farming is done Iceland.   They will be setting out tomorrow with six other farmers to gather all the sheep.   They have a cabin they stay in because the treks, by horseback, are usually two days long. Hildur and Sigi have three children - a daughter ten years old, a son fourteen and another son who is sixteen.   He is away at school i
