(and watching other people enjoy the geothermal activity at Geysir),
I moved on to my farm hotel for the night, Efsti-Dalur II, |
 |
| where the views – and the smell – brought tears springing to my eyes – |
 |
| because even though I am far, far away from home in a country oh so different, |
 |
| it reminded me so much of where I grew up (surrounded by farmland in Northeast Pennsylvania). |
 |
| The smell is sweet and sour. Sour grass, and the sense that there are cows in the vicinity. |
 |
I had the most delicious dinner in the restaurant, with all-local ingredients –
the tomatoes and other vegetables grown in nearby greenhouses.
The delicious caramel ice cream in the picture above was made on the farm with the farm's cream. |
 |
| While I ate upstairs, these guys were eating downstairs. |
 |
| At breakfast, this milk made my tea AMAZING. |
Thank you,
Efsti-Dalur II, for a beautiful visit. I'd like to stay for weeks and weeks while writing a book. :)
