The Morkens were delivered via IcelandAir this morning to Keflavik @ 0620! We were picked up by our couchsurfing hosts Styrmir and Lilly and drove to their home on the marina cliff to meet their 3-year-old daughter, Freja, and thoroughly entertaining cat, Tristan...













This is the view from their living room window...whoever said Iceland weather changes every hour or minute totally lied. It was rainy and so windy today (38miles/hour) that even the seagulls couldn't fly forward.















Their home is the white one on the very right side of the photo. Icelanders are among the healthiest people in the world with a woman's life expectancy to be 83 and man's 79! Styrmir said it's because everyone has a tablespoon of cold liver oil and starting at 2 weeks old, babies are put in a carriage outdoors, irregardless of weather or storms, for 3-4 hours until they are 3-years-old...














Our couchsurfers hooked us up with sweet orange waterproof pants and maps and books that we can take along our travels! The wind really is holding Justin up...



Tonight we have some German couchsurfers also staying where we're at...and the journey begins...
