It was another great week on #CollegeGirl to #WorkingGirl. On Monday we argued that being a #hotmess was far superior than being a bad leader, Tuesday was about discovering our #motivation in the workplace, on Wednesday we excelled in phone interviews, and finally on Thursday we were seeking some relief from the pain that only meetings can bring.
This week's #DestinationFridays feature is Iceland. I traveled to Iceland back in March 2006 with a group of friends seeking a long weekend of fun and cool scenery. Iceland was much more expensive back then compared to today, but seeing the pictures from one of my friends who visited last month reminded me how stunning the scenery really is.
One of the most recognizable sights in the capital city of Reykjavik is the Lutheran church of Hallgrímskirkja. It took 38 years to build the church and was completed in 1986. Although it may be a far cry from the glamour and wonder of some of Europe's other more traditional churches, it still provides a striking image amongst Reykjavik's winter landscape.
In addition to the bars and nightlife of Reykjavik, no trip to Iceland is complete without stopping at the Blue Lagoon on your way back to the airport. The Blue Lagoon has been voted best medicinal spa five years in a row where the water's temperature is a consistent 98 to 102 degrees and the geothermal sea water is naturally renewed every 40 hours.
Iceland's location in the middle of the North Atlantic makes a weekend trip from the East Coast a total reality. The next time you are looking for a little something different not too far away, Iceland should be at the top of your list.
