Chuck did get moved to a small hotel near the Blue Lagoon and a power plant.. He reports that although it is in the middle of nowhere, the room is very nice. The Blue Lagoon is in a thermal area. Yesterday he went for a walk in a lava field. Most areas have asphalt walking paths because they do not want you walking on the fragile surface. You can see that the soil is very shallow. There is great risk for erosion so someone came up with the idea of importing Alaskan Lupine (has a beautiful purple flower that is blooming now). Turns out that the Lupine is quite invasive and not the blessing they had hoped.
Remember how I told you that everything keeps changing. Now Chuck is cleared to fly out tomorrow (Friday). That will be the fourth ticket. Iceland Air will breathe a sigh of relief when they get him onboard!
I started coughing the night before I flew home. Tested negative on Tuesday and flew home. My cough has continued so I went to the testing site here in Rockford this morning. I have no other symptoms, but want to know for sure. Will not know the results until late today or tomorrow. In the meantime, I have groceries and the washer to keep me occupied.
