Well folks, I've brought the blog back again for another adventure. I like to be able to spend sometime at the end of the day reflecting on my adventures and thought some people may be interested in reading along.
I've arrived in Iceland after a world wind of events. The last month has been busy to say the least. First, april marked the end of medical school electives. What a bizzarre feeling to walk out of a hospital and know Id be returning a doctor. Then, on may 1st I completed my first ever marathon with the help of my friend Laura of course. Only two days later I wrote my licensing exam.
If the first few days weren't busy enough I crammed the whole month full of adventure. First, an 11 day trip to Utah and Nevada national parks with Diana to explore arches, zion, canyon lands, Bryce, capital reef and last but defiantly not least the grand Canyon. It was delightful we jammed 10-20 miles into every day. Between the marathon and hiking i lost two toenails and Diana got a blister (turns out that mught be the magic recipe for an adventure for us). I could not.have been happier everyday during the adventure... Turns out I have a thing for canyons.
Upon arriving home I was able to celebrate graduation with my friends and family. 4 years of medical school.... it's basically like finishing a marathon. I cannot express how lucky I have been to make the friends I have and to have had the support to get me to the point where I am at today. I'm grateful and have not taken that process for granted.
So as you might be able to see why my first day in Reykjavik has been dedicated to we'll deserved rest and relaxation. It involved several hours of walking and exploring the city before I joined a gal from my hostel at the cities geothermal baths to sit and float. What a treat.
Day one a success. Cannot wait to see what day two has in store.
