TCSC Apostle Islands 2010

I belong to the Twin Cities Sailing Club that does social sailing and racing in conjunction with the Lake Harriet Yacht Club.  Every fall they do a large group sailing trip to the Apostles.  Sarah and I went this year and were fortunate to be grouped with some great people - "Dancing" Paul and Alyssa Fox, Kraig "Kraigles", Jim Musil, Ian Fitzpatrick, and a mother/daughter pair (whose names escape me right now - sorry).  Had a good time.

To Holar

We took a day trip to Holar University, an agricultural school.  Here are some photos of our trip up there.

 Old sod houses

 I had to run in the Arctic Ocean - It was extremely cold.  I think it's technically the Norwegian Sea

 This is about 10PM

Wandering Around Iceland

Some photos of use touring Iceland with Mom as our guide.  The first batch is form snaefellsnes, the western peninsula of Iceland.  Others, such as the fortress are further east from Bifrost.  And there are some from the western coast on our way to snaefellsnes.

Godhamar

More or less across the road, mom owns another farm called Godhamar.

Stadarhus

In 2010, Sarah and I visited my mom in Iceland.  Here are some photos from Stadarhus, the farm that now houses a country hotel near Borganes that is the base camp for horse treks and day rides.  If you're interested in having a horse trekking adventure with instruction from Icelandic Horse Masters check out America 2 Iceland on Facebook.
