Dec 13, Day 6 We switched up days a bit, today's activities were supposed to be tomorrow but no problem. On our way to Reykjavik, stop in the town of Borgarnes to visit an Icelandic settlement exhibition and learn more about Viking history. The first portion of the Settlement Center was quite interesting, the second was a saga of Egils, which was less interesting because it was just folklore and myths, not really factual information.

I haven't posted much to this blog because things have been very tentative about going. Just after the trip was booked John had another heart issue.

Our flights are booked, as is the extension, and we are hoping & praying for the best!
