It was 5° in Iceland today. That's in Celsius, but I'm led to believe that's also quite cold. I'm not complaining. We left in a blizzard, with near whiteout conditions on the drive to the airport, so this does feel like an upgrade.
We learned about whales and Vikings today. Both are big and smelly, and they both do interesting things. We were informed that the Viking museum is full of “unpleasant things for little girls” and we should look at the postcards to see pictures of the terrible, graphic imagery before entering. The postcards had pictures of wax Vikings holding axes, looking big and smelly. Kind of like Dinah’s older brothers. It wasn't bad and she wasn't phased at all, but the woman was appalled when we came out. “You took her IN!?”
We also visited Höfði House. Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev held an historic summit there that marked the beginning of the end of the Cold War. They discussed nuclear bombs, and I'm pretty sure John and Daniel discussed fart bombs while waiting in the car. Another historic summit.
