I have a few other pictures though...
Reykjavik, as seen from the tower of Hallgrímskirkja...
Goose meat salad for lunch...
Later, a hot dog (pylsur in Icelandic) from the stand in the Old Harbour. People like Bill Clinton and members of Metallica have eaten here. Hot dogs in Iceland are quite good. They're made of lamb meat and "the works" means with fresh onions, fried onions, ketchup, sweet mustard, and remoladi, a mayonnaise based sauce with relish. Very tasty!
Tomorrow we're flying home...

SINNERS--anyone who puts ketchup on a hot dog has traveled a dark and ungodly road! The salvation for Iceland though is how they have used color in their construction. All those structures in the picture, what is the primary building material? Goose meat? Let me guess; it doesn't taste like chicken.
I wondered if you had been eating or simply living off the air and the history. :)
Hi Vesper, I gather you already have been at home for a mou nth now.
I watch these photos all over again, because Iceland in on my bucket list. I guess you knew it and went there to make some fresh and realistic photos for me, lol.
I hope you had a great time in that gorgeous landscape and came home packed with wonderful memories of all kinds.
I don't know much about Icelandic folklore but I guess we'll be reading some of your works inspired by the lore you just met there.
To "the walking man": goose meat in texture and taste is close to the meats of game, or to beef. Unlike the soft and almost tasteless chicken raised in industrial farms, goose meat is more compact, tougher to eat and contains a lot of wild flavor.
Source of my info: raising goose is traditional in Hungary. ;)
sorry for the typo
read "mou nth" as "month"
I just saw your latest posts on the trip (sorry I'm so late) and wow... This have truly been an amazing life experience. So much beauty. Iceland is blessed by the old and the new gods ;) It's so beautiful there!
