Let's Make Some Art, Dammit

July 8, 2026. Faxafoss. Iceland, Day 14. Cycled about 20 km to Reykholt in a short break in the rain, where I was able to buy real food and find a campground with proper services (except picnic tables). Other than that, it rained, pretty much non-stop. Everything I own is at least a bit damp. There's laundry here, though, thank goodness. When I got here I discovered that the pain in my stomach was hunger. I devoured half a loaf of bread and peanut butter, plus a can of peaches. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/mcGgJ4k

July 7, 2026. Geysir. Iceland, Day 13. Today was a rain day, but in between rain showers I took the opportunity to explore the geyser site and to walk up the small mountain overlooking (beyond which the scenery was gorgeous). #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/8v2cykn

July 6, 2026. To Geysir. Iceland, Day 12. A bit longer a ride today (I didn't feel like staying in Laugarvatn) and fewer hills, but cooler and again against the wind. I made it feeling better than the previous day - still not strong but I made good time. I didn't actually go look at the geysers - time for that tomorrow. It's a major tourist draw and - disappointingly - you can't buy food here, only order from the restaurant. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/2y0glsB

July 5, 2026. Laugarvatn. Iceland, Day 11. Cycling on a bright sunny warm day with a lot of uphill and against the wind. Less than 30km but it still took a lot out of me - felt weak entering Laugarvatn so I set up camp then went and ate a pizza. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/AWYI2Pa

July 4, 2026. Exploring Thingviller. Iceland, Day 10? It was a beautiful sunny day at maybe 14 degrees and I got all my errands done and had time to explore the national park. This is Silfra (sp?) where the continental plates are pulling apart. People dive in these crystal clear waters - I watched them. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/yo3dgRD

July 3, 2026. Thingviller. Iceland, Day 9. Today (supposed to be sunny all day) started with a downpour for several hours. Meanwhile, I split my stuff in two and left the heavier stuff - including almost all my electronics - in the trailer, which I left in the care of the campsite. So now I traveling a lot lighter, which made it a lot easier to get over the pass, kind of necessary in my current weaker state. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/HpadqKV
