First day, or three

Our Flight got in around 4:20, (Iceland Time) and we got our car around 5:30. Our House was available around noon, so with some time to kill we went to one of the public baths. The baths are pools made by men, that are heated with natural geothermal energy from the Earth. This creates a year-round outdoor bath, that is the size of a big pool, along with hot pots for soaking.

After we spent hours at one of the baths we went to the new whale museum in Raykjavik. It was just like the exhibit in the natural history museam but with TONS more whales (23!). Then came 11 o'clock, but still our house was not ready, so we went to lunch at a world famous hot dog stand, then went to a restaurant that serves the best bowl of Lobster Chowder in Iceland.

Now finally it was twelve, but we decided to check one thing out before we went to our new home, The Cathedral. The Cathedral was designed to look like it was made out of the same hexagonal rocks that cover the Island. This gave me a feeling that the Icelandic people associate nature with their religion, or treasure nature so much that they created their church around it.

Once we made it to our new home, we were content with our little house. It is off the main road so we don't hear many cars, but close enough to the church that we hear the bells ringing. I am very happy that our first day went so well, and excited for tomorrow when we venture into the depths of Iceland.
