(08/06/14) My 34th Birthdday

Today is my 34th birthday! We were kept busy the entire day. First, we went seal watching. There was a farmer who had set up a watching station on his property in a little hut with binoculars. We were able to see quite a few seals, albeit from a distance. We also got to see some shorebirds, little sandpipers.

After that, we made our way back to Reykjavik, completing our loop of the island. We found a cache or two along the way. Once back in Reykjavik, we found a hotel for the next two nights and then were off to find some dinner. We ended up at an Italian place eating pasta. What a global world... George at least had pasta with Icelandic fish. After dinner, we strolled along the main street, which reminded us of Frederick with all its little shops. We found an ice cream place for me and I had a double dip of coconut and blueberry. George had a double dip of banana split and hazelnut. All four flavors were equally as good.

Since we are back in Revyjavik a bit early, we have some time to fill tomorrow. We think we are going to go to the zoo (I heard they have a reindeer and I want to see a reindeer in Iceland, so we are going), maybe to the art museum or library and then out to the Blue Lagoon again.
