Iceland, Day 2

The short drive to the city was nice, though it was raining and very cloudy. I was so excited to see all of the new things. The terrain was covered in volcanic rock from hundreds of years of volcanic activity. The ground was literally choppy and bulky.

When we got to the apartment, Len and Sandra were so excited to see us. We got such a warm welcome!!!! Their apartment was wonderful and it was just great to be with them. Noah quickly warmed up to them and their home, running from room to room and exploring every detail. He hopped right up into Amma's bed and snuggled in!

We were introduced to some new foods and we just sat and talked about everything. We were in quite the daze, having been awake for 24 hours at that point. We got Noah down for a nap, but we tried to stay awake to get ourselves into the right time zone.

We headed downtown to just walk around for a little bit. We strolled through the streets and went to city hall and to the duck pond (where I got a horrible bee sting... OWWWW!).

These Ducks were showing off on one leg!

On the way back to the car we walked past an art project in the city. Iceland has so many remote villages with children who never get their picture taken and so a group of artists went and did a photo mosaic of them. It was so awesome. Here is Len with Noah in front of the exhibit.

Len made an amazing Icelandic lamb dish for dinner. I'm not a huge lamb fan because it has such a strong taste, but this was so different. I really loved it! Before dinner, Noah, Paul and Len toasted "skal" to a great trip.



After dinner, Noah started to go stir crazy and so we walked out the door and there was a park! And we walked up the street and there was another huge playground. The scales were tipping in our direction.. until it started to rain!!!!
