There were tree happy and tired Soulcasters in Iceland this evening. I said good by to two of them out side their guest house at 9PM. I will meet them at noon tomorrow.

Let me start at the begin. At half past 5, I and Pálmi awoke and we drove to Keflavík to fetch Quiet. She landed here at 6.30. When she came out she knew me right away.

I can tell you this, she is one very nice lady. I like her very much. We drove to her guest house . It is also Polars guest house. We woke Polar up and we went all to my home for breakfast.

Then we set on a tour, the so called Golden Circle in the south of the country. We went to the place Þingvellir which is rich of  history and were our parliament was founded in 930.

We had a good walk there looking at things. I am not going to bore you with details but we all had a very good time.

Then we went to Geysir and to the Golden Waterfall. We ended in the town of Hveragerði. where they grow  all kinds of things, tomatoes, flowers and even bananas.

Both girls were very tired after the trip. Quiet just came from the USA and she had not slept much. She had to go to Boston and she had not even slept the other night.

But we were talking about you Soulcastes. Thinking how  you pronounce this and that, like Hotaka, Botoni, Kruuai and many other names.

We suggest you all make an audio and let us hear. lol
When we came home Pálmi drove us to the shop. We decided what to have for dinner. It had to be quick and easy. We drove home. It was the next house. lol
I made the dinner and we had it. I drove the very tired SoulCasters back to the guest house so that they could rest. I am going to do the same. I want to apologize for not answering my comments in my last post. . I will do it later.
The girls at Þingvellir

A crazy woman overtakes us on a gravel road. Really reckless driving and see who it was. We get all the dust from her car. She did not get far ahead of us. .

    Seriously though, I'm so glad you all got to meet!

    I just got home and checked---thanks for the messages from you and quietone.  Wow-whee....You all are having such a nice time!  I am so happy for you!  It looks cold there---I see the girls in winter wear!  But it is so beautiful.....I love the waterfall!  Quietone looks so happy....nice to see.  And polar looks so cute with the Viking stuff!  So, "gingersoul" passed you and left you in the dust....ha....

    Thanks for sharing!

    Love, wombat

    Quiet could have stayed with me to get to Boston faster!  :-)
     
    I'm SO loving this trip!  LOVE the pictures, as usual!  The GINGER one cracked me up!
     
    Is it colder where you went than where you live?  Polarkins had mittens on!  Tell Quiet she isn't missing any warm weather here...it was chilly today!

    Hey girls......that plate made my day!!!!...LOL....are you telling the name was appropriate for a fast driver?...well.....that could be easily me........i admit it....:-D

    I am happy Quiet arrived safely and joined you  ...it seems you are having  a heck of fun...
    And what a spectacular places are you visiting....

    Pollie, you are too cute with that Viking hat.....lol...

    Daily...oh, when me, you and Secret??????
  • Zayda said on Jun 28, 2008....
    That license plate is hysterical! :)


    And Polar makes one cute yet fierce viking! :)


    I'm so glad you guys are having a great time. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.
  • botoni said on Jun 28, 2008....

    Gingers' license plate left me roflmao!  The pics are wonderful and the enjoyment you are all having together is obvious.  That Yeltsin dude with Palmi looks like a tough one.  I'm disappointed that there are no glitter thongs in the racks behind Quiet, though.  Frozen Ticker looks right at home in the Viking garb but she doesnt quite have the fierce look I would anticipate and definately is missing a beard.


    Skald, Botoni is easy to pronounce.  Just say Boughton E....like I "bought on E " (bay).

  • woman said on Jun 28, 2008....
    These are great pictures. Thank you for posting them and have a lovely time.
  • the_infernal_optimist said on Jun 28, 2008....

    Thank you for sharing this.....hey....if I'm ever around those parts, can you show me around? 
    I liked seeing the pictures of the banana trees.  I used to have a variety of different kinds in my back yard.

    oh wow!!! ginger is that your car?!?!?! lol!!!
     
    it's nice that you guys have a great time!!! and those were great pictures skald!!!anyway can you record a video and then talk to each other? that would be fun!!!! =)
  • skald said on Jun 29, 2008....
    Pickers.  We also talked about how your Pickesplock name is pronounced. Maybe we make Iceland a SoulCasters meeting place and you come and meet me too. Thank you Pickers.
    Wombie.   It was cold yesterday or at least it felt cold because of the wind. Pálmi lent Quet a coat because she did not have a warm one. I think she was happy yesterday but very tired. I  know she is up now and I just got up and after my breakfast I will see her and Polar cakes again.
    Daily.  I will show this to Quiet. Yes it was colder everywhere yesterday,. I don't know how it is today. Quite was saying she was sorry she missed you the last time. Thanks Daily.
    Lucy.  We will certainly rock. Thanks
    Ginger.  I said you would admit it  could have been you, lol  I will show the girls the comments. Are you sure it was not you? :-)
    Zayda.  Your name came up too. Thanks.
    Botoni.  I am going to show the girls this and then they see how to pronounce your name. I was saying it was bow ton e and I will let the girls say how they said it. Polar was like mine but with more emphases on Tony, Quiet had something like an ah in the beginning, very American. But i better let them explain.
    Thanks Botoni. I agree Polar does not look fierce.
    Woman.  Thanks so much for your wishes.
    Infernal.  We thought that the license plate was hilarious too. Thanks Infernal.
    CW  Thanks so much yes it is like we have always  known each other.
    Rolling.  You must live somewhere, where it is warm since you have banana plants. Yes, if you are around these parts I will post a picture of you. I promise.
    Queen  Ginger says it could have been her. lol What a great Idea you have. See what we can do. Luv skald
  • MissMimi said on Jun 29, 2008....

    These pics are just wonderful!  I'm glad you had a fun first day.  Polarviking does look darling in her helmet.  :)

    Quiet, you're as cute as a bug's ear!  You three have a great day today!

  • destinydiva said on Jun 29, 2008....
     what a beautiful adventure you  three are on... thanks for sharing it with us..
    :-) xx

    ps skald...what are the bubble things??  how do you make them??  looks fascinating!!  :-) xx
  • fearing said on Jun 29, 2008....
    Nice pictures Skald.  I can see you all are having a lovely time.  Looking forward to more of your adventures.

    Tell Polar to give my hat and ax back.  I've been looking for them.
  • Me-Myself&I said on Jun 29, 2008....
    I smiled from ear to ear looking at the pictures. I am happy for you all. Have a wonderful time. Thanks for sharing. ~see ya
  • silverwhisper said on Jun 29, 2008....
    skald, i'm so glad you're posting these--i too was laughing when i saw that license plate. my first thought on seeing that was "holy crap, GS is there, too?!" :D and i was really impressed by that picture of the bubble just before it exploded--that was incredible to see! and skald, where was that picture of the banana tree taken?

    polar, quietone: it was good to see you two! :>

  • pickersplock said on Jun 29, 2008....
    Woowee, I'm there already!  I would love to visit you in Iceland someday!
    I still have to get over and visit Quiet and Wombie sometime soon!
    My screen name is pretty much Pickers Plock.....Pick, as in pick an apple......
    ......ers, as in hers without the h...........and plock, which rhymes with sock!
  • gingersoul said on Jun 29, 2008....
    Ed....lol......"Holy crap, its Ginger, hide"....lol...

    ........tsk tsk.....reckless Ginger driver.....lol..

    Skald.....i agree with Queenie........you HAVE to record a video of you girls screaming at us  "Hello Soulcast from Iceland".....or i will seriosuly start pouting and stomping my feet....

    It could easily become the poster video for the site.....

    Have fun, sweeties....:-)
  • evil_twin said on Jun 29, 2008....
    It looks like you guys are having so much fun! I really liked that Ginger license plate too. I bet you guys got a good laugh about that one huh? I'm jealous of Polar and quietone because I wanna visit Iceland too! It's not a place I ever thought about wanting to go until I was reading your blog and seeing all your pictures. Now I'd really love to visit there someday too.

    Keep having fun you guys, and keep posting the pictures :-) They're great to look at!

  • kruuyai said on Jun 29, 2008....
    LOL... that GINGER license plate cracked me up, too.  And now, she's trying to convince us that wasn't her!  I'm glad you're all having such a good time.  The pics really bring me back to my Iceland trip in '91.  This is the first time I've seen a pic of Quiet.  It's so nice to put a face to the name.  Quiet, you have such a kindness radiating from your eyes.  And Polar... girl, you look soooo young!  And if you guys really want to know how to pronounce my name, scroll down to the first video in the comments on my Voyage of the Little Box post.  Enjoy the rest of your trip.  How long will you be there?  Skald, thanks for sharing these pics.
  • skald said on Jun 29, 2008....
    Mimi.  Quiet is a cute bugs ear. I do like your expression. I've never heard it before. I can tell you we are having such a good time. Thanks so much for your comment.
    Destiny. Thanks so much for your comment. It is so good to see  you here. The bubble comes before the hot spring Geysir explodes in the air.
    Fearing .  We were rolling with laughter when we read your comment. Polar saw it too and she has to give this back to you.
    Me.   Oh we are really enjoying. Thanks so much.
    Pickers.  I did get your name correct. hurray for me. Only Quiet has been joking saying pickersocks and all kind of nonsense, but all in a kind way. We have been having so many laughs tonight and they are all silly and not about anything really.
     Yes, you visit the others  you mentioned and then me. luv J
    Ginger.  I would not want you to pout and stamp your feet. We will have to do something about it you lady driver with the Ginger plate. Was it not you by the way? Seriously. Thanks so much dear Ginger.
    Kyle.  Yes, we are having such fun. I am full of joy. I am so proud that you want to visit Iceland too. Would be wonderful to meet you and Natalie.
    Kruu.  She is really trying to convince us, Is she not? We all agreed on how Kruu is said but not the whole name so I am going to have a look. The girls are  home in the guest house now. Quiet really has such a kindness radiating from her eyes and her person too. She is like my sister now. I do like her so much. I like Polar very much too. They are very different but I do think we all hit it well off. Thanks Kruu.


  • fearing said on Jun 29, 2008....
    I bet she has my pink leotard and ballet slippers that I wear with that hat too!  
  • Zayda said on Jun 29, 2008....
    Skald: Ahh, no wonder my ears were burning then. :)
  • dailyachesandpains said on Jun 29, 2008....
    Gingie...I'm ready any time!
  • quietone said on Jun 30, 2008....
    well, seeing as I was here or there with you... I will just add... thank you my dear friend for this wonderful day!  I am so glad I decided to come to Iceland to meet you and your family!  You are a true blessing and friend.  I won´t give you a hug here, because I can go give you one in person..
  • skald said on Jul 01, 2008....
    Fearing.  hahah  I think I saw them fall out of her suitcase when she left. It must be lying in the street now. Shall I fetch it for you?
    Zayda  Are they very red now?
    Daily. OK Daily I dare you. lol
    Quiet.  Yes, I just got the hug now. I kept you to your word. You are a true blessing and I am so glad that you are here. That day was a very good day which I will remember. ((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))))
  • truthsayer said on Jul 01, 2008....
    I loved seeing all of you...and your husband too...but still, you can see that I have gotten confused at all of the photos...I think I commented on not seeing you on the very blog entry that showed a photo of you!!!  ; )  Hey, I get excited...and can confuse myself!  Thank you for sharing again.  I love the photo you took of the bubble and also, the Golden Waterfall.  Wow.  Soooo cool.  Love, love, love, T
  • frontanack said on Jul 01, 2008....
    the pictures are so very nice.  I hope no on peeed, with that license plate appearing... and disappearing: the way it did.  thank you for sharing this.  The geyser bubble is fascinating.

    I could smell the air: having spent a couple of days on the shore of the north sea: in Berwick on Tweed, Scotland: late april// I know how the area feels.  but it is not that hot here either.  nights are still at 40f= about 5-7 degrees c.  thanks girls.
  • skald said on Jul 02, 2008....
    Truth.  Don't worry. I get pretty confused sometimes too and I don't even know who is who. Thanks so much.
    frontanack.   Well at the moment we are having more than that but you have the idea. we have maybe 10C at night though. We had 16C today. Thanks so much.
  • Zayda said on Jul 02, 2008....
    Skald: Nope, not now. :)


    I really think that picture of the geyser bubble is one of my favorites of all your pictures from this adventure. It's a wonderful picture and just fascinating to look at.
  • catch22 said on Jul 03, 2008....
    This is great!

  • skald said on Jul 04, 2008....
    Zayda.  Thanks I just saw this now.
    Catch.  Thanks too, I just saw this now too.
  • hotaka said on Jul 04, 2008....
    Okay. This post and the photos were great. But like everyone else it was the Ginger license plate that made my morning. Hysterical!
    And this is so cool. Cooler than I expected it would be. Here are three of our top SoulCast darlings meeting and touring in exotic Iceland and talking about the rest of us. I feel we are all a part of this rendezvous. I want to hug everyone now!

    Oh, and Zayda reminded me, that bubble shot is great. You can bet I would be there for hours taking photo after photo with different lenses and from different angles to get the shot. Your is good, skald!
