The Trip of a life time

Several months have passed since our epic journey. I am often in disbelief when I reflect on everything that happened over our adventure. Here's a short recap of our trip:
-Sailed across the Atlantic on a 49' Catamaran
-Enjoyed the posh life of the Mediterranean, and wined and dined in some superb restaurants (thanks to our good ole Skipper!)
-Biked across France
-Camped in castles
-Ran with the bulls in Spain and fought off pick pockets
-Enjoyed many stages of the Tour de France
-Climbed around on the Alps and massive glaciers
-Drove around the entire country of Iceland
-Ate Popsicles with the Prime Minister of Iceland (who I think was recently impeached!)

It was a dense several months.

Eric is now off in LA living with the rich and famous working in Hollywood.

I am in Raleigh, NC working in commercial real estate development. It seems like there is hardly a day when we don't think back on the many adventures those exciting months held.Quite frequently we would stumbled upon such beauty as the below picture. We were driving through a black desert when a dune dipped down just enough to give us a glimpse of these ice bergs and glaciers. The trip seemed characterized by unexpected surprises, and usually always greater than we could have imagined.There are just a few random pictures from the trip
A few Icelandic waterfalls




(Notice our tent, very small on the shore bottom right)



(Our view camping on night. Its hard to sleep when you look out over that all night. You just don't want to close your eyes.)
