The Adventure in Akureyri
During this contract, I was able to do and see some truly incredible things. Since coming home, I’ve frequently been asked about my favorite places, and I’ve had trouble answering! There were so many wonderful places, but I liked different ports for different things. Looking back through my photos, I tried to break down some of the highlights of the past few months. This is what I came up with… The Best of the Adventure.

Best Museum
- The Guggenheim Bilbao
- The architect, Frank Gehry, also designed the Guggenheim Museum that will soon be built in Abu Dhabi. There was an interesting article in the New York Times about the new museum.

I knew the quality of the places I was visiting was pretty astounding, but I just recently added up the quantity! I’ve now been to 39 countries. I can’t wait to add more to the list in the New Year!
