The Final Countdown!

Today marks exactly 2 weeks until our time here is over. There are only a few things left on our list, one being take the weekend to relax at a naure bath, and most of the rest being to go back over a few questionable areas. Questionable areas seems a bit vague, since I have questions about everywhere we've been, including: How in the world did I get here? and How do I get down? Scientific questions are also yet to be answered, but we have budgeted for more than enough time to get our work done and see the rest of the country on our long trek back. The weather is still not what we are used to, but has been quite nice compared to the first weeks of work. We do however, have a new foe; the Iceland travel brochures seemed to have neglected these little guys called midges, which come out by the millions when its not raining and windy. Hmm... now which are we more equipped to work through? I would take the bugs over the cold and rainy, even if I do end up eating a few, but Brianna seems much more content with the previously rough weather than the new pest (me being the old one). Either way, rocks seem to keep making their way off of the mountains, and more and more color is getting onto our maps so we'll keep trekking along .
