In the Land of the Vikings

Sunday, September 10, 2006

I went river rafting this Saturday with the law students from the University. This is a picture after our trip with our guide, Anup. Three of the guides were from Nepal, one from the US, one from New Zealand, and the other two from Iceland. It was a great day with, what I considered, serious rapids (Class 3 and 4). It was also absolutely beautiful; with the contrast between the bright green grass and black lava rock, with the occasional white of a sheep or water fall. I'll try to attach a link from the river rafting company.

We passed a family herding some sheep on our way home. The sheep here are more like goats in that the seem completely at home on little rocky outcroppings. All the sheep spend the summer up in the mountains, then come to the valley farms for the winter.

More sheep!
