In Iceland







Wooo HOoo we´re in Iceland. We arrived into Reykjavik a little later than expected as we had to land at Reykjavik´s domestic airport due to fog at Keflavik. We didn´t get to the hotel until noon (where we probably would´ve arrived close to 8am).

I am so excited to explore Iceland. The people here look like an amalgam between Norweigan and Irish (more so Norweigan I suppose)... perfect for Brent and me. We took a short boat ride to look at some puffins... I thought they were going to be a lot bigger and cooler, but, hey, the boat ride was nice. We then explored the city by walking and ended up at a museum. The museum had this great audio tour with wax structures (I seriously thought they were real until Brent convinced me they weren´t). The tour chronicled Iceland´s history from about 800 - 1500. Turns out many of the Icelandic women are of Celtic descent where men are of Norweigan.... go figure.

Must get to eating now. Very hungry. Not sure we´ll be as adventurous about trying local cuisine as we were in Peru. Petrified shark, no thanks.
