Restless in Reykjavik

A protest sign left outside of the Alþingi, the Icelandic parliament. It reads "NEW REPUBLIC."

Reykjavik, Iceland

A gorgeous, glacier-filled harbor

So I arrived in Iceland not so many hours ago with Marco – daylight lasts from around 10am to 5:30pm or so. The city is adorably quaint and small, and even the parliament smacks of the kind of small, squat dollhouse feel (with angry protestors outside, however).

Babies in strollers were also given small pots and pans to express their displeasure towards the Icelandic government.

It was odd that all the churches we walked into were wide open and unstaffed, plus almost always empty.

Anyway, looking a lovely meal of whale meat/puffin/rotten shark. Will report back soon.

Protestors in front of the parliament banging pots/pans/drums since the economy is in the shitter and all.

hallgrimskirkja - the outside currently under construction.

Some kind of battleship?!

A lesbian monstertruck. Clearly.

The only viking we saw.
