Blue Lagoon

And part of that work has been related to the Icelandic bathing culture.

Most notably, her work on the Blue Lagoon, which she has been head architect.

Famous.

Yes.

She's been the main architect for the Blue Lagoon since its very foundation.

So from there, we've been able to move into the spa sector more in projects that are related to the Blue Lagoon and other projects that are not.

Mostly in Iceland, but recently we've been working on projects elsewhere.

Great.

Do they

limit the drinks as they do in the Blue Lagoon?

Yeah, but it's like per party.

Oh,

You can

go to Kertlingafjall,

which I believe is also the Blue Lagoon now.

I think they've

And of course, the affordable, highly rated places are often reserved months in advance.

And even the things that people pay a lot more for, like the Blue Lagoon, for instance, their Silica Hotel, which is a higher end hotel, and then their Retreat Hotel, I believe it's called, which is the highest end that you could have, those are all booked out as well.

So most expensive doesn't always mean the best value.

It just means that someone realized that they could double or triple the price because of the demand.

And so we were in France for about 10 days.

And then on our way home, we stopped over in the Blue Lagoon, which I would highly recommend.

It was really, really fun.

So a little bit of European summer travel time off.

And so it was nice to actually have a little stretch of personal travel in there.

Yeah, awesome.

That was a blue lagoon in Iceland.

Yeah, Reykjavik and Iceland in general, I would I would highly recommend it's for us in Seattle, there's a direct flight.

I will start with a kind of highfalutin sort of, uh, like, pretentious sort of pick that is maybe not the right thing to kick the conversation off with.

But if you ever go to r- Iceland, if you ever go to Reykjavik, they have a tourist trap there called the Blue Lagoon, where they built, like, a spa on top of a thermal vent.

And, like, all of the buses that take you from the city to the airport are like, "If you wanna stop off at the Blue Lagoon, I guess you could." And you float around in this, like, uh, like, cerulean blue water where people can, like, pour drinks for you, and you float around drinking, you know, cocktails and stuff.

And it's supposedly healthy.

I don't see how that's possible.

Not a, not like a traditional Icelandic thing by any means, but I think it's, uh, great.

I, you, you should do it.

You should, you should absolutely go to the Blue Lagoon if you ever go to Reykjavik-
