Iceland Photos for real

OK. So I went to Iceland with my girlfriend Jessica about a month ago, where in the hell does the time go? Anyway, I loaded about 190 photos from Iceland into my Picasa account with captions on most of them and there are some really cool ones there.

I'm not going to recount the entire trip but it goes something like this.







Waterfall, Glacier, Waterfall, Hot Springs, Waterfall, historical stuff. Seriously, Iceland was very green and amazing to walk around with waterfalls all over the place.













































































Pictures and Ads are hilarious when you can understand the what they are about.














Whale is tasty. Iceland takes like 20 - 30 whales a year for traditional things and mostly to feed to tourists. It was really good and I can see why it was hunted. Cow of the see if you ask me.


Puffin, on the other hand, tastes like SHIT. I thought it smelled bad and tasted worse. Liver is the closest thing that comes to mind. The breast meat was RED. Gross.




Dracula Candy is the worst candy in the world. Jessica's reaction was pretty much the same as mine. It's gross and you can't even come close to finishing it. So gross.




About 300,000 people live on Iceland (Island in Icelandic) and it's about the size of Kentucky so it's pretty sparse outside of Reykjavik and all of the places we went had almost no people around other than the tours we were on. No fences either so you could walk right up to most of the natural attractions and touch them if you were willing to fall in or get burned.

Things learned:

It's weird to pay for cold water. Hot water is so abundant they charge you more for the cold water coming into places because they mix it with the hot water to cool it off for showering etc.


Viking, Gull, and Tuborg beer are drinkable beers. I would say the Coors Light, Miller Lite, and Bud Light of Iceland except with about 5.7% alcohol and in 16oz cans. I would drink them again.


Icelandic is one of the oldest languages in the world and nearly impossible to understand. Thank you Iceland; I'm glad almost everybody speaks excellent English.

Everybody really is related and they still use Patronymics, meaning they don't have last names. My dad's name is Charles I would be Tyrel Charlesson. My brother would Owen Charlesson, and if I had a sister her name would (Girl's name) Debrasdottir. Crazy to understand - and they only have about 10 names there.

I don't have a picture of it somehow but if you ever have a chance to try Skyr do it. It is delicious and sort of a cross between cheese and yogurt in texture. I loved it.

Hot dogs in Iceland are excellent. They have a little bit of lamb in them we were told and it made them excellent. I think I ate 4 or 5 while I was there over 8 days.

Here is the Geyser, Strokker, going off.
