Rain from Below

               Well today wasn’t half as long of a day as yesterday. Well at least we didn’t stay out till 9. We got home at 7:20. We are all excited that were going to England in 2 days. Well today was another eggs and bacon day. We headed out after breakfast to a glacier.

 We stopped at some waterfalls on the way. The first and main waterfall had a trail behind it. Mom, dad, and I went behind it but Jenna wanted to stay behind. However mom, dad, and I had rain jackets on and Jenna didn’t. By the time I got around it my pants were soaked. I can’t imagine what it would be like not having a waterproof jacket and hood.

So overall she missed out on the short fun but she was dry in the end. We walked down a paved trail to see the other waterfalls. After we climbed a trail to get a view that wasn’t through a rock of one waterfall. There were chains to hold on to while you climbed a rock. There was on section where it was about a foot wide trail. There was a very scary drop off after you climb up a small non screwed in ladder.

So far the landscape has been beautiful while we drive. I bet you that there is enough sheep here that they could fill an ocean. It would be called the Wooly Ocean. Almost every were you look you will either see a waterfall, farm, river, or lake. We’ve seen about five thousand sheep. Their little baby lambs or so adorable. We have also seen baby foals. Yesterday one little baby foal tried following us in the car but the mom wanted to head up the hill. We have also seen a few cows and a lot of cow guards. Gosh there are a lot of them and they are really bumpy!

By the time we got to the glacier it was later in the afternoon. We walked to the glacier but it didn’t take long. We walked down to the actual glacier. We walked on the rocky ice. We had to stay on the middle of the ice in case of caving. After we got off the ice and back on the ground I found a rock and started chipping of the dirty ice off of some ice burgs on the ground. We ended up eating and touching clean Icelandic ice.

When we got back in the car we started the drive home. It took a long time to drive home some time to get home but we did. We stayed home for dinner and had spaghetti. After dinner me and dad played a crib game then went to bed.
