Our first day in Iceland! I was bored with it at first, I was expecting a smaller town less spread apart with more eye catching architecture and sites. Well, was I proved wrong by our couch surfing host- Oddur! He not only took us out for 5 hours, but he did all of this after cooking dinner for us! We saw where the northern lights are seen best, he drove us to the presidents house and stood in his yard! (We clarified with Oddur if we tried to do this in the states we would be shot) But my favorite part? Sitting in Oddurs living room and seeing these gorgeous pictures of Iceland-so much packed into an island and so much to do and see.
So, the green man. We were just getting off the plane this morning bleary eyed at 6am after traveling 4 hours in the future and trying to find the buses. We get distracted by food and soda bottles marked "light coca cola" and end up at the end of the building. "Shane, do you know where youre going?" "Yeah. Follow the little green man" "I think that's the exit sign" "Then why the hell is it green and why is he running? You're supposed to walk during emergencies people!"
I now know we will survive this trip.
