iceland. day eight.
puffins, storurd, dettifoss/selfoss

Posted on August 15, 2023October 10, 2023by sarah

day eight. we awakened in our little campground on a fjord in east iceland, borgarfjörður eystri, hoping to avenge the previous evening’s failed puffin viewing attempt. we raced over to climb to the little cliff overlook viewing platform and settled in. we had big plans for the rest of the day, so we were hopeful […]

iceland. day seven.
icelandic buffet, hengifoss, long drives

Posted on August 14, 2023October 9, 2023by sarah

the southern section of the ring road around iceland is packed with lots of things to see and do. as we approached the eastern coast on day seven, and began to make the counterclockwise turn up to the northern section of our trip, the travel times would be longer and the things to do would […]

iceland. day five.
vik, black sand beach, lava show

Posted on August 12, 2023October 6, 2023by sarah

on day five in iceland, we awakened (once again) to gloomy, drizzly skies in the southern port town of vik. this is pretty common in vik though, as it sits just south of a massive glacier and something about the wind and science and meteorology and blah blah. anyways, we bundled up, and made our […]

iceland. day four.
waterfalls galore.

Posted on August 11, 2023October 5, 2023by sarah

prepare yourself for an onslaught of waterfall photos, because the entirety of our fourth day in iceland was spent visiting numerous locations of various volumes of waters cascading over cliffs of assorted heights. some of the waterfalls are iconic iceland attractions, not too far off the beaten path, and with large parking lots and amenities.

a ridiculously long post about april ’23.

Posted on May 1, 2023May 2, 2023by sarah

well. you would think a post about april would be super short, considering we spent the first week on spring break, and all of that was detailed in previous posts. but, alas, sometimes when there’s not much excitement going on, these miscellaneous monthly posts get a lot more attention. or so it is in this […]

day two. emerald lake.

Posted on July 25, 2021October 1, 2021by sarah

the black hills. custer state park.

Posted on July 13, 2021September 29, 2021by sarah

when we booked our time in custer, south dakota, i knew it was close to wind cave, badlands, and mount rushmore, but i had only vaguely heard of the black hills. despite its gloomy sounding name, it turns out, the black hills are completely amazing. we got a little taste of them on our drive […]

badlands day.

Posted on July 11, 2021September 29, 2021by sarah

our site in custer was pretty close to a lot of things, but badlands was still about a two hour drive away. thankfully, we had THE BEST neighbors, who also had a sweet pup, who offered to check in on ruby and take her for a few walks throughout the day, so we were able […]
