Bill and I got back from Iceland last night and we have some pictures to share. It was a great trip and very cool to be visiting during the winter. It really gave us a sense of how stark the landscape is.
Some cool things we learned: Icelanders speak Viking. Also, fortunately, English. While there isn't really crime in Iceland, there is lots of graffti. Two of my favorites. The first, you'll notice, doesn't say not to smoke pot -- just don't smoke too much of it every day.
We visited a frozen pond near the center of town which was used as an ice rink and a soccer field. A small part of it remained unfrozen and ducks, geese and swans gathered there and were fed by locals and Japanese tourists. There was a lot of poo. The photo of the lake was taken around 11:30 in the morning and the sun is probably an hour away from it's highest point in the sky.
