Black Sand Beach, Iceland

/ Cate Tracey / 1 Comment

My mom and I returned from Peru yesterday evening!  I really need to wrap up my Iceland posts to start my Peru ones…

After Bethany and I left the glacier, we were able to visit a black sand beach!  It was great because the sun was out (at first) and the landscape reminded me of Ireland all over again!

As you can see, the sun doesn’t stay out for long in Iceland…

The sand was so pure and dark, that my boots blend in here!^

My Michigan roots have always led me to water, and I’m happy to have seen this side of Iceland!

We meet again, Big Ben!

I visited London during the summer of 2014 and left a piece of my heart there!  The charm, the elegance…all of what London had to offer attracted me and made me want to go back!

I was supposed to visit London with a friend at the end of March, and although our plans changed last minute, I am thankful I was still able to see the city that captured my heart nearly two years ago.

At night, everything seems to be glowing and prestigious!  I love the contrast this city has to offer: busy at night, and calming during the day.

“Do one thing a day that scares you.” Simple, truthful, brilliant…

Whether I was drinking at my favorite pub, strolling through Regents Park, or seeing shows on Broadway, London Round II did not disappoint!
