Finally sharing the second half of my adventure in Iceland! As with most of the trip the weather was pretty gloomy with light rain showers everyday (this of course meant we saw rainbows everyday too!) The sun showed up about only 3 times for short periods during the whole trip, and we were thankful for the warmth even if it only lasted for a few minutes. With weather so unpredictable, it really was a challenge to take pictures but I would say that this second half of the trip was the half I enjoyed more because of all the nature, so here are some photos and words to accompany them.

Definitely considering it as one of my favorite trips!

This post is about my favorite recollections of one of my first ‘conscious’ trips. Between April 21, 2014 – May 1, 2014 my mom and I traveled to Switzerland, Italy, Austria, and Germany to celebrate the canonization of Pope John Paul II and Pope John XXIII. For this trip I only used my Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
