My Second Trip to Iceland
Jenna Reed
When I told friends and family that I was going back to Iceland (we had been here last March), there were a lot of puzzled looks and questions.
"Back to Iceland? Why?"
"Don't you want to go somewhere new?"
"...but isn't it cold?"
Yes, back to Iceland. Of course I want to go to new places in the future as well. And, cold? I mean, it's like spring in New England, it's in the 50's and 60's right now.
So. Back to Iceland. Why did we go back to Iceland?
I don't know... I mean, we could go to a sandy white beach somewhere.
I mean, I know that the possibilities are endless... we could travel to any number of places, instead of the same foreign country twice.
We did talk about visiting other places, we originally planned on England and Ireland, actually. But, you know, Iceland just seems to have this magnetic pull. And we'd never gotten to see it in the summer, only in the winter; so the 24 hours of sunlight certainly piqued our interest.
I honestly can't really pinpoint specifically what called us back here...
All I can really say for now is, if you want to know why we came back a second time, to Iceland of all places...
...is that maybe you'll just have to come out here and find out for yourself. ;)
