Day 154: Spa treatment

I had my first ever spa experience today at the Sundlaugarvegur sports complex. The center includes the spectacular indoor Olympic pool, an outdoor lap pool, several huge hot tubs, three shallow pools for playing, another for the water slides, a soccer stadium, playing fields and the spa. It was mobbed today. While the guys liked the hot water and steam rooms, I preferred the cool cascades of water pouring over me. The best part was the water slide. Very few other adults were using it, but we had a great time.

 Evan got a lifetime best time in the 50 meter event, a 27.1, so he was ecstatic! After the meet, we walked all over the city, picked up sandwiches and ate on a sunny knoll overlooking Harpa, (the opera house) and the harbor. Once the closing ceremony was completed we took a cab back to the city center where we watched an excellent street performer and then had dinner at a restaurant called Cafe Paris. It was such a joy to spent a leisurely evening with the family. It's far too rare. Early tomorrow Evan and his friend Matt are flying to Amsterdam for the week and we are off to tour the south shore.
