Our Trip To Iceland

Posted on

We are so glad we got to visit Iceland. It was unexpected, Merci daughter Erica invited us to join her and Jennifer for a long weekend in February and we jumped at the chance. We stayed at the Hotel Holt in Reykjavik, a walk away from the bustling main streets and sites. We also enjoyed breakfast every morning and cocktails in the late afternoon.

Just a short walk to the water for a spectacular view.

We went on day bus trips to visit the geysers and hot springs we could not help bu smile and clap. And of course the Blue Lagoon Spa. Now we know why it is one of the 25 wonders of the world. It was snowing and we did not care. Amazing!!!

We had a chance to visit a stable and see the beautiful Iceland Horses, which are pony sized and so adorable.

Then there are the Northern Lights, The Aurora Borealis, which we were told may or may not show for any number of reasons, clouds or too windy, but we were blessed that night The sight was magical. We were not able to see the colors with our naked eye, but our cameras picked it all up.

We enjoyed a delicious meal every night, sometimes fancy sometimes not so fancy. All the restaurants were a walk away from the hotel and the variety of food always fresh and so tasty.

The weekend went so fast we each promised to return because Iceland is a magical land.

We will be back Iceland.

Family Time At A Restaurant Post COVID-19

Posted on

The first thing I’d like to say is make sure you call and get a reservation. Outside seating is very limited. We were lucky because the table of six were not to arrive until 2:30. We showed up at 12:30 and were greeted by friendly masked, gloved staff and seated. You must wear a mask waiting for a table but you can remove masks at your table. There are time limits for dining, ask your restaurant for the rules. My daughter picked Seventh Street Cafe and they had a great set up outside.

Tables separated by large urns of plants. Our table was then covered by large paper tablecloth (no fabric) and our utensils came wrapped in a large napkin. No salt/pepper on table. No sharing bread or dipping oil or ketchup. Menus are made of paper and not used again.

Tables will be dressed when you are seated. No refills a new glass of soda every time you wanted one. The plastic straw is back.

Both my daughter and I were so excited to be together and eating at a restaurant (which is one of our favorite sport) that we got emotional and had to stop the tears. Just listening to the familiar sounds of people being around people.

The conversations, the laughter back ground music and hustle bustle clinking clanging, it’s the little things that make us human. It was nice to come back to the new normal.

It’s been a rough year and I think it will continue to be a challenge for some time to come, so we try to do our best, keep spirits up and hope. This small time meant a lot to me and my family, just to be together and do something that we did without a thought before.

Thank you to all the front line and essential workers who brought us all through to this point this new normal. God Bless You God Bless Us All.
