Returning to Iceland

In September 2012 I went to Iceland for a weeklong photography trip with three friends. Iceland amazed me and left me in awe. I have wanted to return, this time with the whole family, since the flight landed in Minneapolis.

Tomorrow is the day! We depart from Minneapolis on Friday night, and will land in Iceland on Saturday morning.

I am eager for the adventure to begin!

Beautiful evening on Cannon Lake.

Something went terribly wrong with the carrots in the garden. Carrot Ball? Carrot Swarm? Eek. πŸ₯•

I’ve been wearing my Oura Ring for a few months and the sleep data is useful. They enable longer term analysis on the web. I’ve been feeling more tired the last few weeks, and the data clearly shows why.

I’ve always used my WiFi SSID to broadcast my website thingelstad.com. I decided to add another SSID for my ENS name thingelstad.eth as well. πŸ‘‹
