We were early risers this morning to go to Easter service at the local Lutheran church, Hallgrímskirkja. Jesus was also an early riser, hence the holiday.
The service was in Icelandic, but surprisingly easy to follow along. Sit, stand, sing “hallelujah,” say “amen.” We've got it down at Lutheran churches around the world.
Our amazing friends had an Easter egg hunt ready for our kids, who at this point, had gone nearly twelve hours without candy and were ready to go Lord of the Flies on us like our last trip.
Seeing friends, getting candy, a nap in the car, and getting used to the time zone prevented any international incidents – and made for a great day for everyone. Plus there was some sightseeing.
John has been wearing his Washington Capitals hoodie on this trip. He got it a few weeks ago in Washington, DC. We packed too light for that trip too, and he didn't have a good jacket. We bought the first hoodie we could find at a Target Express in Annapolis. John is not a sports fan at all. From the moment he walked out the door with it on, people in DC yelled “go Caps!” to him, often with fists in the air. This included a Secret Service agent at the White House. It also included a TSA agent at DIA on the way for this trip, and now a man at Geysir in Iceland. It's a small world for Caps fans, apparently - like Broncos fans. Go Caps!
