On the other side, we got to the airport
and drove to a lava field where we climbed the hill
in this moonscape
and except for a few signs of human habitation might have been on the surface of the moon.
But the indentations
the interesting rocks
and the scenic views
and flora
made us happy that we had this car and would be exploring for a few days.
Next we came upon the hot springs where the signs warned
and we saw a spring off to the side
before checking the map of trails in front of us
which made it clear we wanted to stay on the path
as we looked down upon bubbling pools
with smoke rising
and dented pieces
as we looked across the landscape of the various thermal pots here

When we woke up, we realized that Ruby Tuesday was across the street
but walking further past the houses of many colors
we found our way to sandwiches
and this pastry
which amused Jane
and me
as we completed our lunch at the Sandholt
and walked on through the town until we reached this statue of Skuli Magnusson (fogeti)
by the city hall
and watched the ducks in the pond

After our first daily swim, we were ready for dinner and so walked into town to A naestu grosum, the vegetarian restaurant,
where these were our meals
and our drinks
and the business card of the restaurant
along with the dessert
favored by Jane
and the beer
that I chose.
On the way back to the hotel, we saw these 3 T shirts
in the Dogma shop which was closed
and after recording this memorial
we noted the neckties and went home to bed.
