Reykjavic Seattle Portland

Reykjavic to Seattle to Portland

Sleep came over us slowly. Was it the milk chocolate or  anticipation of our last day: travel home?

I got the coffee started and made instant lattes and a pot of french press. We cut the croissant in half and put out the yogurts and strawberry jam, which was nicely tart.  A banana was sliced and we ate slowly.

We need to be out at 11:00. Our flybus is at 12. And the plane is at 5:00.

We say goodbye to our host Elsa Bjorg Magnussön, Hail a taxi and ask for a ride to the Hallenkirge. Its a tower of a Lutheran Church the state's religion; 80% belong.

The pipes in the organ number 5700! The taxi waits as Dan and I light healing candles. The taxi driver is quite nice. He asks us about our careers and why I became a 'dentist'.

The fly bus arrives early for the 50 minute bus ride to the airport over lava fields.

We check in find a lunch spot and make our way to gate D22b. Then we are bussed to a plane waiting on the tarmac. We board:)

Dan and I watch movies

1 death at a Funeral

2 Going the Distance

3 Braveheart....

We get off in Portland, go through customs and security and head to another terminal where we buy a turkey sandwich to share ( for ($15.)

Tired, very tired but we'll soon be home.

On our flight from Seattle to Portland, Alaska was kind enough to pour free beer and give cheezits to one and all. That made for a stunning dinner!

Our suitcases were a few of the first to arrive in Baggage, a taxi driver from Ethiopia brought home.

We dropped everything and crawled in to bed! Grateful !
