outside of Gunnison on a school bus route. However, we drive the kids to school each day, since we have to go to town for our jobs as well. Here, there is a bus route dedicated just to transporting kids between Bifröst and Varmaland. However, that is not immediately obvious, because the buses are not painted or signed in any special way like they are in the States.
All busing services are contracted out here, which probably works out pretty well, since there are a large number of tour buses in Iceland that sit idle over the winter, which is the tourist off-season. The contract for the girls' bus route is held by the father of Alex's friend, Imba. The kids have really enjoyed being driven to and from school on these luxurious buses. It might be a bit of a let-down if we start having them ride the school bus when we get back to Gunnison!

| One of the school buses the kids have used leaves Bifröst on a recent morning. The kids' school bags are stored in the luggage compartments for the drives to and from school, completing the "tour bus" feel. |

| This is the bus that the kids have ridden in most. It is always left at Bifröst overnight. |
