Which is it? You'd never think you'd find a home so fast as I did in Iceland.
I miss it more every day.

The Last Days
The last few days - Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Emotional and confusing don't even begin to cover it.

Independent travel with Kate-Noel to the north fingers of Iceland. I'm not to good at telling people how to pronounce these names on a computer.

Hestaferðir Baka
Hestaferðir Baka (Horse Back Riding)

We went horse back riding up a small mountain 45 minutes from Skalholt. It was amazing to be on the top of that mountain and see for at least forty miles in every direction.

Karið
This will be the post about my experience in Karið (Pronounced: Care-ith)
The Caldera not far from Skalholt.
I was able to visit Karið twice while in Iceland. Its an amazing sight that takes my breath away every time I see it. I wish pictures could do it justice but as with all the natural wonders and beauties of Iceland pictures can't begin to do it proper justice.
I'm not sure if I stated this in an earlier post but I'll summarize it again.
During class one day we had a trivia challenge. No one was forced to answer but we were warned that those that answered incorrectly would have to suffer a 'punishment' when we went to see the mysterious natural wonder that day. Now I'm a bit of a go-get-'er and I'm not afraid to do something daring or challenging. If I was afraid I wouldn't have traveled to Iceland. So when I heard that there would be a 'punishment' I decided I'd see what that 'punishment' was. So I honestly tried to answer a question but ended up getting it wrong (the second question I got right). So I was all in now, time to pay the price.
So later that day we went out to town and on the way back we took a side trip to this 'mysterious' wonder of nature. Low and behold it was the large volcanic crater Karið.
I've never been one to be 'moved' my natural wonders. Granted the last natural wonder I saw was the Grand Canyon when I was about ten or eleven years old. And at that age you really can't comprehend much in that topic.
But when I saw Karið I was honestly moved and amazed. It was an amazing sight. I was nearly running down the path to the bottom where the 'lake' was.
