Weird Iceland sculpture #2. An art museum in a park in Reykjavik. We did not go in.

This is the house on the harbor where Reagan and Gorbachev met Sept 11-12, 1986. It is the former French Consulate named in Icelandic Höfði. That's easy for you to say.

Weird Icelandic sculpture #4. They are very proud of their concert hall.

Volcanic crater. This is my best picture of the ice filled crater and surrounding countryside. It also has our assistant US guide who never wore a coat. He was from Michigan. Iceland intends to make a statue of him when they get the money. They are really broke now, and still talk about the "Great Financial Crisis" in awestruck tones. It really hit them hard, and like worldwide was started by a housing bubble that burst. They have not recovered yet, like a lot of European countries. Say what you want about Obama, we have pulled out of it very well by comparison to the rest of the world.

Some of our tour group out in the country. We drove mainly along the coastal shelf with the low mountains, all volcanic, a few hundred yards, or a mile or so at most, away. The coast is all farming and horse raising.

Taken from the bus. These are probably summer cottages of wealthy Reykjavik residents. Note the grass infested volcanic rock which was very common--both grass and rock, I mean. There were lots of fields with no rock, but I'll bet they cleared them for farming.

One such field. Grass is all brown, but very long. When summer comes, it must be short and growth must be rapid, for what is left this day, April 9, 2013 is very long. Icelandic horses are short and squat so they don't blow over, and have long beautiful manes and tails. You don't know what they raise them for besides riding. Think France.

Large geothermal region maybe a 1/4 square mile or slightly more. A mini-Yellowstone, said the boy from Wyoming.

Same geothermal. There was a restaurant and gift shop across the highway, and the bus load of us stopped for lunch. I started to say the buss stopped for lunch, but as I recall, it did not eat anything. Good lunch so, and they had Chill, the XM/Sirius radio avante garde jazz station (the drummer's station, that Sharon and I listen to in our house a lot).

There is the restaurant, about the largest we saw. Everything is small scale here.

The language is sometimes--not often--decipherable.
