Today was a misty drizzly day here in Iceland but it didn't bother us much as we were mainly moving from one area of the country to another so were on the bus except for a few stops along the way. We stopped at Eric the Red's house and heard all about him and his son Leif. The house was built with the tools the vikings would have used and it was a very interesting place. From there we went on til we stopped for lunch at a horsefarm. I missed Delaney and Emily especially today as I wished they were here with us to see the horses. They are so pretty and we had lunch with the family and they had two girls about Delaney and Emily's ages. The horses were so pretty and we learned about the gait they have that makes them different from other horses. They seem much shorter and different proportions than most horses we see but were very pretty and friendly.
From there we drove on to our hotel and it is a vast improvement from our last one, which by the way was in Olafvik. Remind you of St Olaf? It grew on us there and it was a great way to really see what small town life is like in a small fishing village. This is a much bigger town with about 20,000 people and we have a nice room overlooking the water and town. The traffic lights have red hearts for their stop lights so I of course, thought of my friend Julie!!! Those hearts never stop surprising us where they will turn up.
When we checked into town, Jim and I walked around in the mist and checked out the area near the hotel. There are many places to eat and shop and think we will enjoy the time here!
