Rough Recap of Iceland...

Oct 23, 2007 10:56

Here are the pics and below is a collection of notes I wrote up on my brand new iPhone as we travelled around Iceland...

Fri, we arrived, had some trouble with our shuttle to the hotel and some more trouble at the hotel. Our first room was livable, but not what we'd expected. So we went hrough the hassle of requesting a different room and boy ( Read more... )

I love the pictures...and am very envious that you went to Blue Lagoon!

You should go, seriously, I bet the flight is even less (time and money) from your part of the country!...

cool pics..i love trentmoller..one of the most refreshing acts out there right now

did you report the shooting to the police with a description of the vehicle? damn

Yeah, the thing I liked about Trentemoller, was how emotional he made his performance, maybe it was just the fact that when live, he has a guitarist and drummer, but I haven't felt electronic music that uplifting since the early days of trance at Buzz at Nation, and in those days it wasn't JUST the music (still isn't for some people, I guess, but oh well), so, I think it's quite remarkable what he's doing...

No, we were horrible citizens and didn't report it, I thought about it, but we were just so exhausted, Jamie wasn't hurt, and we still had a long walk ahead of us and all we'd caught was the color and general shape of the car (red SUV)...Plus I wasn't really too keen on hanging around the area after that...Makes me even less thrilled about walking home alone from work, but I've survived worse...

Yeah, I'll let Jamie explain the rotten shark (not even in my meat-eating days could I fathom something quite like that!) and I'll even give him the spotlight to share his odd drive by bb-ing experience...See you Saturday, if not before (no idea what we're doing Friday, or what you're doing, but we can keep each other in the loop)...

Pictures look beautiful.

That whole leaving the baby out in the snow is european... Matt's family does the same thing in Slovakia. Bundle the baby - put in crip/carriage - leave outside on door step.

They're big believers in fresh air being good for you.

crip = crib... I must have had drive-bys on the mind.

Welcome back to DC *bang* ~T

Maybe, but I haven't seen anything like it in the U.S., Mexico, Canada, France, Switzerland, Monaco, England, Ireland, or Puerto Rico...Maybe in those places it's just not safe to leave a kid unattended for fear of kidnapping, so in those places we forego the "fresh air is good for you" mentality in favor of the "being alive is good for you" mentality?...
