Reykjavík: Taste The Rainbow
So, David and I made it home safe and sound and as I sit here in his apartment in NYC I cannot help but think back fondly our our amazing trip to Reykjavik, Iceland. It was entirely too short but well worth the effort. Since we did one big thing each day there wasn’t a lot of downtime for us to just enjoy for the sake of enjoying. Thinking back, I’d've loved to been able to just walk around, sit on a park bench or just lay on the moss covered lava rocks. I felt such a sense of peace there … I can’t wait to go back. We’ve already begun talking about a possible quick trip back … I guess we’ll see.
For our last few hours in the city, David and I made our way down to the harbor to check out the area there. On the advice of Pink reader Hona, we sought out a place called The Sea Baron to try their lobster soup — OMG, it was just delicious beyond belief. Much, much love to you Hona for the suggestion … I’m so glad we got to sup there before we had to leave. We did a bit more shopping in the area — the Icelandic handcrafted items are so beautiful, I had a hard time not buying everything in sight. David and I took great pains to make sure everything we bought was made in Iceland out of Icelandic materials. I brought home a few wool hats, a pair of soft and waterproof gloves and lots of books and runic items. Here are a few pics of our last hours in Iceland. To my glee and amazement, we saw a huge full, clear rainbow as we were driving towards the airport … it was the most beautiful rainbow I have ever seen in my life, these pics do not do it justice:
Additionally, as if seeing that full rainbow wasn’t cool enough, as we were flying away from the Iceland coast, I saw another rainbow below the plane reach from the clouds to the ground below … you really can’t see it in the cameraphone pic I snapped but … it was just beautiful.
Our flight home was lovely, Icelandair is a great carrier … wonderful service, great amenities and really comfy, roomy seats. David and I somehow got the best seats in the coach area so we were very pleased.
For those of you who were reading my Twitter updates yesterday (the “pink sheep” ones) this picture is for you:
I think I like them now … but I’m still pissed I didn’t get a My Melody. Ah well.
And that was our trip. Tonight, David and I are meeting up with his sister and aunt Judy for dinner … it looks like it’s gonna rain here but somehow it’s not as charming or alluring as it was in Iceland. Go figure.

I agree with Ashley I really like the blonde on you! I really am going to plan a trip there. It looks like so much fun! I am happy you guys had an awesome adventure. Just out of curiosity what made you guys pick Iceland? It seems like such a random destination. One that I am happy you picked because it sparked my excitement!!

I’m so glad you loved Iceland as much as I do. It really is a special place in this world. I really think you should do the new years eve visit, you would be amazed at the party Reykjavik throws.

Trent can you answer this question for me: Why does your PitNB page ask for a Twitter username and password each time I visit? It also happens each time i go click to go back a page.
I tried to visit your Twitter page to try to figure it out, but it wont let me access it, it asks for an “employee passord”
Is that normal.
I also noticed that your twitter updates used to show up on the side of your page, and they are no longer there.

“production stagine access – employees only” is what it says, actually.

Trent!
I’m SO happy you and David enjoyed the lobster soup and took me up on the offer!
I’ve been working away on class assignments – so thanks for keeping me entertained in between. :)
You (moss covered lava) ROCK!
