I've been a little behind with my posts, a lot has happened over the past two weeks, so the next few will probably be out of order. I was sick for about a week, nothing that a good dose of antibiotics can't clear, but finally have the energy now to get caught up with everything.
Today was another one of those perfect, not too warm days so my mother and I biked through the woods, along the bike paths for about two hours, around 10 or 15 kilometers. It was packed with families and couples who had the same idea as us. The woods here look similar to those at home, except completely flat and with a lot more sand. There are no big rocks jutting out of the ground and no rolling hills. It's really all flat. All the paths in the woods are paved specially for bikes and then a few have been added for mountain bikers that run off road. So you see all different types of bikers, from those that go flying past you in a complete aerodynamic kit, to the elderly couple slowly rolling along.
It's hard to believe that we only have about a week left in our vacation, and then it's a trip back through Iceland before landing in Newark again. From there it's three weeks until France. I finally received the name of my host family a few days ago and cannot wait to get in contact with them. it's all very exciting and is coming up very fast now.
