we're going to the place in the picture jaq posted above, which, it turns out, has much historical importance, being that it is the site where iceland's parliament was founded in 930. the oldest parliament in the world.
also we're going to geysir, which all geysers are named after. only it's dormant. but there's another one nearby that's active.
and to snæfellsnes, which i've been saying over and over since i first heard of it.
and to the blue lagoon. and to reykjavik, of course.
i think i am going to love iceland.

yep, that's the first thing we did after getting here! pretty amazing!
mookie, what time of year were you here? did you know about all the rocks before coming? what was your favorite thing about your trip? did your team win the tournament?
― lxy, Wednesday, 1 May 2013 10:08 (eleven years ago) link
oops too late!
i was there for basically a long weekend in january. because of the basketball, we were only in reykjavik with a trip to the lagoon.
we finished second -- lost to some former icelandic national team players in their 40s. i was guarding/guarded by one-time laker pétur guðmundsson, who is 7'2". it didn't go well, although he was a super nice guy.
i had a great time, slightly tarnished by drinking too much one night. also i am apparently a good dancer by icelandic standards? probably remembering that part wrong.

a polar bear washed up in iceland (on an iceberg from greenland, presumably) today and they had to kill it : /
― mookieproof, Friday, 20 September 2024 02:26 (one month ago) link
make meeting this cat this part of the itinerary
A calico cat called Petah started small, bringing in plastic wrappings and packets of gum. Then it escalated to mittens and baby socks. But now she is bringing home sweatpants, warm sweaters and the occasional teddy bear.
