top-of-world BIRTHDAY

August is BIRTHDAY MONTH – and the 21^st, my far-away top-of-the-world CELEBRATION day.

Bigger, better?  Holidaying with Michaela.  Life always BEST when shared 😊

Direct flights on Iceland Air.  Denver to Reykjavik; M a short 5 hours from Boston.  Keflavik meetup – convenient 45 minutes between touchdowns.  Luggage, Monopoly money.  Sleep another day.

Today – it’s my BIRTHDAY!  Go, go, go!

Airport transfer to Iceland’s Blue Lagoon (lava field on the Reykjanes Peninsula).  M bought the deluxe package (bathrobes, shoes, double the mud).  Geothermal heated, water sweating volcanic minerals/silica.  OUTDOOR SPA day.  Would leave 10 years younger.  Scandinavian fountain of youth.  LOL>

Long soak followed by birthday DINNER.  3 courses, foreign palate – FAAANNNTASTIC eats!

Late afternoon commute into the capital.  Bus Stop #3.  Our new home away from home.  Me, the Hotel Borg.  M & Eli, an Airbnb apartment short 10-minute walk.  Iceland, dig this place!

Hike day tomorrow:  Thórsmörk Volcano 🌋
