Iceland airport- we had about 40 min to get to the gate and get our passport stamps and find something to eat. Apparently Iceland air loves to charge for food, so we starved. I had a smoked salmon and egg sandwich that was amazing (who knew smoked salmon over hard boiled eggs was so good?) and Ryan had pringles and a protein shake, typical! I'm sad because we just had time to eat before leaving and i really wanted to get some gloves or even a sweater from the gift shop. I guess there is a traditional Icelandic pattern they use and i thought it would be a cool souvenir. Maybe on the way back. We haven't really slept but I think it's because we're so excited. I told Ryan there's no way we're going to want to nap after we check in so we'll probably just sleep tomorrow haha. The last flight is only 2.5 hours and as we're taking off it's sunrise in Iceland, they were saying that the sun isn't up until noon this time of year. As the plane took off I could see some gysters in the distance which was awesome. We are both disappointed we didn't think to spend a few days here but I guess that's another trip to look forward to! :) I'm even thinking it would be a great honeymoon spot with all of the things to do.
The plane is slowly descending now on Paris, after we check in I have a few markets I want to go to while we walk around. There's a place called Les Philosophies were I want to get creme brûlée tonight before we see the light show at the Eiffel Tower. I hope you're not worrying too much, mom! Remember that I am a very safe traveler and you've trained me to be the dorkiest one at that, no darken alleys for me! I think tomorrow we have our bike tour at 11 am and I want to try to squeeze in the Louvre before. They say the Louvre could take weeks to see everything, but being the control freak I am, I made a list. The area I want to see the most is the Egyptian art and some other cool stuff from the Middle East. If we have time, I want to go to the Musee D'Orsay which is known to be less touristy than the Louvre and has a lot of really amazing stuff. Ryan's starving, as usual so I better feed him soon. He said to tell you he's sleepy. I say to tell you, what a baby.
