But wait, there’s more! After my six weeks in Iceland in 2005, I was invited to return in 2006 as a volunteer leader. In May I left my job in pharmaceuticals to return to the mountains, valleys, and glaciers of Iceland. This time, I stayed the whole summer and was part of the international team that led the incoming groups of volunteers. Leading people in a foreign country is a 24-hour job, so I had much less time to write in my journal. I did, however, send emails back to my friends and family whenever possible. The emails provide a pretty good narrative of my summer in Iceland, and I’ve added many more photos of that amazing country. (Also of note: I bought my first digital camera before this journey, so I hope the photos are a little more vibrant.)<\/p>\n
