Iceland pics

A museum village from the remants of yesteryear. The living space is underground and quite cozy if you consider the long, cold winter nights. The grass roofs are still used, but rarely, on modern buildings. The modern church in the backgroun adds a bit of colour.
As a child each morning, no matter where I hid a spoonful of cod liver oil was forced down my throat. Thus, I passed up the shot of fish oil that was offered as part of a breakfast buffet. When I saw how full the bottle was, I knew I wasn't alone.


The Icelandicers have no doubt that Leif Erikson was the first European in America. This statue is of his wife and of the son that was born there.
