Day Two: Iceland

Early this morning (or maybe late last night, depending how you look at it) we arrived in Reykjavik.

It was dark... As it was slightly after 1am home time when we got to our Hostel, we collapsed. It was supposed to be a brief collapse. It wasn't.

We did see light... Briefly. We slept through most of it. First day in Iceland not as action packed as we planned. Damn time zones and jet lag.

We did however have some of the most fabulous seafood we've had since last time we were in Maine. Our friendly hostel staff member directed us to a place with the best lobster soup in town. He was definitely right. Add in some grilled halibut and scallops that must have just come from the water and it was divine.

We might just have to go back before we leave.

Tomorrow we'll start with the sightseeing. The Golden Circle tour has been recommended as one to see when in Iceland, so that'll likely be what we do.

So day two was recovery, day three will lead to adventure. Pictures will start to trickle in on Saturday once we get to Mundheim.

Yummmmy! Lobster! Hey, is the masthead banner on your blog something that could be turned into a hooked rug? We never did figure out that rug we were designing driving from ND to NH. Remember that?
