My guidebook for around the world after this trip. The cover was falling apart, half of the insides were ripped out and by the second to last day of my trip, I was extremely happy to get rid of it. The cover, which people thought was overkill at first was eventually received with gratitude when we would walk around with the page open to the maps. You can't avoid looking like an out of towner but nothing is louder than a great big, LET's GO, 15.95 special price! label.
The horses in iceland. These were direct descendents of the viking horses. They are extremely friendly and follow you around if you start taking photos.
Volcano photo in Westman island again.
Puffin breast meat with berry sauce. This special cost my parents 40 bucks. Iceland is EXPENSIVE. A beer in a regular diner like place is 10 dollars. A fish sandwich could go for 20 bucks. Shopping in Iceland is like shopping in the most expensive frou frou stores and restaurants in NYC on a regular basis. My father and mother ate this with tears in their eyes remembering the cute puffins they looked at earlier. As buddhists though, we cannot bare to not eat something that was killed for us so my mother surprisingly ate all of it despite her weak stomach and mixed emotions. The price tag didn't help either. I couldn't do it so I ordered haddock with almond butter.
