“A myriad of modest delights constitute happiness.” — Charles Baudelaire

I, for one, very much agree. After a lifetime of chasing big experiences, I now realize that delight is underfoot everywhere and at all times. What a gift!

What modest delights are bringing you joy today? ☺️

As poet-philosopher @andre3000 once said: "What's cooler than being cool? ICE COLD!" I have to imagine he was talking about Iceland's glacial lagoon, Jökulsárlón, and the adjacent, iceberg-covered Diamond Beach. 🤣❄️ Because there's OBVIOUSLY nothing cooler (*or* more legitimately ice cold) than meandering through massive teal blue chunks of millennia-old ice on a black sand beach, or cruising among iceburgs on a boat tour while you admire Vatnajökull Glacier from afar. 😄 🛥️ Boat tour options on Jökulsárlón lagoon include: a fast-moving tour by Zodiac (a.k.a. a rigid inflatable boat) or a slower-moving (and somewhat cheesier) amphibious boat tour that's fun if you've never ridden a boat on water AND land before. 😅 Pro tip: you'll need to do the amphibious boat tour if you've got kids under 10 who are traveling with you (which we did). Either tour is fun, and if you're lucky, you may even get to spot seals chilling (...literally) on the 'bergs. 🦭🧊 Bonus: you'll probably have a chance to taste ice that's straight from the lagoon, leaving you refreshed for the rest of your adventure! 💙 Would you try this ice?!
