A little trip to Þingvellir

Yesterday I took a little trip to Þingvellir with my mother and my sister Magga. The weather was just lovely, a little sunshine, warmth and nooo wind :-) The lake was so still that you could use it as a mirror. We took a short walk to the old Þingvellir farm and the church. We went inside the church, it is the first time I've been inside the church since it's never been open before. A typical, tiny icelandic country church :-) Then we went to the graveyard and looked at the names and dates on the headstones. A lot of people lost babies in the old days :( We enjoyed seeing geese with young playing by the riverside :-) A wonderful diversion, a short break from the city.
