May General
Lots of backyard and porch time during continued Covid quarantine. Monte celebrated 12th birthday. Tucker and Timber turned 15 a few days apart and Cappy turned 9.

Iceland Golden Circle
I went to Iceland in 2013, but this was Shando’s first time, so we decided to do the Bears on Ice event with a bunch of bears, almost all of whom turned out to be Americans. This was also my first time at the Blue Lagoon.
Airport Layover
Downtown sites of interest include a church that looks like an upright airplane…
Star Wars theme bathroom in a small cafe…
Seemingly permanent rainbow sidewalk…
Iconic opera house and nearby symbolic Viking ship…
and random murals and art.

Iceland Arrival
We got to meet my dear friend Sharan’s sister from Italy who happened to be interning for her advanced degree in Reykyavik. We brought her a framed picture from Sharan to save a bunch on shipping charges. Valentina’s English is very good, but it was nice to be able to speak Italian in Reykavik too, which strangely I have done regularly both times I visited Iceland.
We got a cute Airbnb rental which was pretty convenient, although quite a walk to downtown if truth be told. The cabs were pretty plentiful, although expensive at this point with the current exchange rate.

Lake Elizabeth, Fremont – Stalked by Birds
After our wedding we drove one of our best men to the college he teaches at in Fremont and then stopped for coffee near Mission San Jose. We then proceeded to Lake Elizabeth and at the sound of our cake wrapping, they made way toward us in a very cute way.
