Family vacation is not quite relaxing but it is nice

Hello from Lake George, where I'm getting a taste of waking up at the crack of dawn with two little kids. My goodness, it is tiring...at least they are cute. And as a bonus, I've been able to see some purrty sunrises!

PS Blogging from my phone sucks 

Iceland

If the world does start going to hell in a hand basket, as I suspect it may, Iceland might be a nice refuge.  The country may have absolutely no sun during the winter (and no darkness during the summer), but it's beautiful and it has plenty of eco-friendly, renewable geothermal energy sources!*

*And sulfurous hot water, which mean there are lots of smelly egg showers.  But one would probably get used to that.

Some highlights from my trip last month:

View of Reykjavik from the spire of Hallgrímskirkja

Viðey, the largest island of the Kollafjörður Bay, just 5 minutes from Reykjavík

Geysir Geothermal Area

Gullfoss 

Near Vík somewhere

Jökulsárlón (glacial lagoon)

Near Lake Mývatn

Dettifoss

Hiking up to Grábrók crater

Way more pics here (abridged version here).
