Not too much to report from Iceland today. Finally managed to fall asleep around 4 or 5 am, slept until 11:30. Went peeping around town, and finally managed to cram some food down my gullet after only eating a Clif Bar on Sunday. After muttering "and this bit here is just packed with vitamins and minerals and loaded with calories," I took off to explore some more of Reykjavik. Cat's conclusion: there's not a ton in Reykjavik to take pictures of. I did stumble upon this little area teeming with birdlife. Pigeons, ducks, swans, it pretty much had them all.
For din tonight, I did my homework and set off to find this bar called Boston (naturally). I go up the stairs and hear this ominous dog bark. Mangy little black and white dog runs up to me, so that was nice. Played with the dog for a bit while I sat awkwardly trying to figure out what this place's deal was. Then the dog jumped up on this cute Icelandic hipster girl sitting at the bar. As it turned out, this bar no longer had food, so we all had a good laugh at that. Managed to find a little cafe where I could get some plokkfiskur (traditional fish stew), which turned out to be actually pretty delicious. Cute blonde girl working there, but I guess that's the norm for Iceland. That's it for today. Big day tomorrow: lava cave exploring and snorkeling in 35 degree water, so stay tuned...
