The Famous BLUE LAGOON!!!

The Blue Lagoon - a geothermal spa - is one of the most popular travel destinations in Iceland. We visited this unbelievable place with Leah - our very first Team Diabetes friend!!! If you keep a bucket list, you may want to add this sanctuary to it!

Is this for real? How can so much natural beauty exist in one place?

Sarge finds himself in a similar situation to the Dead Sea - Ziplocked and LOVING LIFE! (I hate to admit it, but he actually looks a wee bit scared!)

Hi Leah and Phil!!! People in sweaters and jackets look on as those in the lagoon relax with healthy "spa-like" drinks (or those of another nature)!

Tayls forgot her swimsuit but Sarge was willing to share his swimwear with her! Unfortunately, the "zipping" mechanism wasn't fully intact and she had to sit on the sunny window sill when we returned to the hotel.....

Sea creature explorers!!! We spent a long time finding the coolest parts of the lagoon - including the shallow parts, the "really hot" parts (the temperature ranges from 98 to 102 F), the "massaging" waterfall, and the spooky cave......

There were big buckets of "GOOK" (<--- or "silica nourishing mask") that patrons could apply on their skin for free. Just apply, let dry for 5 to 10 minutes, wash off, and FEEL FRESHER!

Our Mrs. Doubtfire moment. I wonder why Phil didn't want to participate....

Can you spot us?! Talk about relaxing. AND DEHYDRATING!!! I drank so much water after this water-zapping affair!!! Definitely not recommended pre-race.

This place was HONEYMOON CENTRAL! It may not have been our honeymoon, but a day at this place sure made it feel like one!

[Side Note: I was just on the website for the Blue Lagoon - where there happens to be a LIVE WEBCAM! Haha, if only I had known sooner....you could have joined in on our experience!!!]
