| After a good, hearty breakfast, we set out to explore Snæfellsnes Peninsula. First stop, Ytri Tunga to see some seals playing around in the ocean. |
 |
| Hiked up to Bjarnarfoss: the approach was like something out of Tolkien. |
 |
| Took a nice long walk around Búðakirkja, this black church, and down to Búða beach. |
 |
| Picnic lunch near Laugarbrekka farm (where a half-troll named Bárður Snæfellsás used to live until he got sick of humans and lost himself in the nearby glacier/volcano). This statue is of Guðríður Þorbjarnardóttir, who was born on the farm and traveled all around Europe and north America back in the day. The baby is Snorri (seriously), her son and apparently the first Caucasian born in America (in Vinland, Canada). |
 |
| Some bird-watching near Londrangar, some rocks that look like a viking ship. |
 |
| Lots of cool little flowers on our treks today. |
 |
| Cooked up some tacos on the grill in the freezing wind, made a great meal to end the day. |
Do you ever see any other people? I'm entranced by this land I hardly ever even thought about before.
