Our first day in Iceland was long and invigorating. We slept only a little on the six hour flight and arrived about 6:45 am. Lisa was waiting for us in the line for customs. The Airport Express shuttle delivered us on the doorstep of the Einholt Apartments. Although we could not check in early, we stored the luggage and walked to the pool where the IGLA meet was underway.
It has been many years since we last saw Evan swim competitively in college so it was wonderful to see him swim so well today. He won three medals yesterday and another today. His one disappointment was a fifth place finish in the 100 free today. Tomorrow is the 50 free which is his favorite event.
Strolling along a walking and bike path on the edge of the sea, we could see the city center and distant mountains that we'll be exploring over the next few days.
We booked trips to the southern shore and the Golden Circle for Sunday and Monday. A traditional Icelandic soup for lunch and Mediterranean (Greek) food for dinner provided the great variety of dishes that I love!
It's been 36 hours since we have slept soundly. We should be ready for bed, but the sun is still shining at 10:15. It will set about 11:15 and rise again at 3:30 am.
