Iceland Pictures

Last week, I wrote about my experiences watching soccer in Iceland. Consider this part two of my Iceland adventures. Today, I'm sharing pictures from my trip. I know what you're thinking. Sean, you're just going to share amazing pictures and videos of waterfalls, the ocean, and puffins. You're such a tourist, Sean, posting what everyone shares when they travel to Iceland. I hear you, so instead of doing that "boring" stuff, I'm sharing random pictures of the trip.

Ranch is one of America’s greatest culinary accomplishments, so what better way to celebrate Cool America.

Gulfoss is an incredible waterfall. I could show you pictures and videos of it, but I know that you want to see that the visitor center has Heinz condiments.

Meanwhile, a food truck at the Jökulsárlón Glacier lagoon has whatever this is.

While this museum (which was right around the corner from my hotel) has good reviews, it wasn't on my list of things to do. Did check out the gift shop though.

Many, many years ago, I remember being amazed by the Dyson Airblade hand dryer. Apparently, the next step in hand dryer technology is at the Keflavik Airport. It's an individualized Dyson Airblade at a sink!

Of course, I took a picture of cereal at the grocery store in Vik. Seems like Weetos is a better value than Marshmallow Mateys.

The Gruffalo has been one of my favorite books to read to the kids over the years. I saw a version in Icelandic  at a Reykjavik bookstore and really considered buying it as a gift for them, but 40 American dollars seemed a little steep for a book I probably wouldn't attempt to read more than once or twice.

I just want to share that accreditation is important.

The Sun Voyager is a well-known sculpture in Reykjavik. A picture of this landmark doesn't seem to match with the rest of this post. I'm including it here because of the woman in the picture. I waited patiently for her to make all kinds of poses in front of it until finally I decided to take a picture of her in action!

Quick story about the Yoda Cave. We drove a lot of hours the day we visited this and missed the turn to the "road" to the cave. When you miss a turn, it's miles before you can turn around since there's not just an intersection two blocks away. The road to the Yoda Cave itself was gravel and possibly the bumpiest road I've ever been on. I was really worried about potential damage to the car and needing to deal with insurance. So we finally arrived at the cave but were also getting hungry since it was late in the day and frustrated that we missed the turn. We got out, took a few pictures, and left, and I thought of  Leonard Nimoy on The Simpsons while I was there.

This is outside our first hotel room just after 3:30 AM! 

Fine. I'll share a video of puffins.

Yes, there will likely be a third Iceland post, so stay tuned!
