Iceland National Park

I'm baack! Sorry, I have been super busy with school work. Last week was a doosy! I may or may not have cried more than once. Back to Iceland. Here is a nice photo montage of the Iceland National Park. Some of my favorite photos were taken here. Please, enjoy!

I made use of the self timer on my camera.

Blue Lagoon

Iceland has natural hot springs, so while we were there, we spent a day at The Blue Lagoon Hot Spring. By far my favorite day of the trip. I had two appointments at TBL that day and my first was at 11:00 in the morning so I had to grab the bus before the rest of the group so that I wouldn't be late. First, I waded around in the hot water and put on a mud mask for 1o minutes, then I went to my first appointment which was a 20 minute in-water massage. Best. Massage. Ever. After, I grabbed a quick lunch and then headed to my Deluxe pedicure appointment and spent the rest of the day in the water until my extremities look like little prunes. Side note: natural spring water is VERY good for your skin, however, not so much for your hair. At the end of the day my hair was drier than straw! I had to condition twice a day for the rest of the week to get it back to normal.
I was at the bus station waiting for my tour bus to take me to the hot spring and I saw this machine selling grillz. Iceland is gangsta.
Yum!

Hvita Waterfall

On my Golden Circle Tour, we stopped at this waterfall. When I was told there would be a waterfall stop, I though of one giant stream of water flowing down the lip of a mountain. Not this GINORMOUS abyss of water! It was awesome! I couldn't help but think of Happy Feet.
I asked a really cute boy to take this picture of me.
I'm a sucker for a good love story. This one is worth a read.
I nice man took this picture of me.
I know it might seem like the same picture over and over again, but in person it was amazing.
