Farming it up in Iceland

Well...! 

Our first few days in Iceland were beautiful, but a bit rough. So, after enough of getting soggy sleeping under tarps, we decided to email some farmers we had previously connected with (& who we had also denied, since we thought we would camp the whole time) through workaway.info. And (luckily) one responded! 

Now we are at a really beautiful farmhouse in the very north of Iceland with a fun, hardworking Icelandic family! There is a mom, a dad, and 3 young, rambunctious kids. Oh, and 200 sheep roaming around. Here's a bit of what this place looks like:

We put on overalls cuz we get all dirty & nasty.

We fix things.

We work and live in these red-roofed buildings.

We are happyyyy! And drive and ride in tractors.

And diesel, trailer-hauling vehicles. We haul around a lot of waste & old hay! Woohoo!

We also help build things (this will be a fence made of pallets).

And we sleep in a nice, warm bed! :D

And hang out in a nice, warm house 

And no matter what we're up to, we always have a great view..!
