Another gorgeous day for a walk.

We still had yet to walk to the left side of the city from our apartment so we took off around 13;00 (that's how they write the time).

In the past decade or so there has been "suburban sprawl" just like everywhere else. It looks a bit different than America but not much different. In the middle of it all they have managed to create a city park with lava rock trails, gorgeous grass, a pond, botanical gardens and a zoo. All situated right next to their football stadium and outdoor heated competitive swimming pool. It was around the mid 40s and sunny so we spent all day walking around, shooting photos and talking to horses.

Their zoo is little more like a farm with a couple of exotic things like the Arctic Fox and seals. I guess you can call what Roy calls the Urban Jungle Chicken they had roaming around exoctic as well.

There were couple of churches around, which are really cool and indicative of their architectural style. If its not super modern, its a bit gothic.

We eventually made it back to our side of town

but not before stopping at Hofdi (d pronounced like a "th"). Its where Reagan and Gorbachev had the peace treaty meeting.

A rest up before dinner and running some errands while I found out about a band playing at Cafe Rosenberg. I thought it was going to be Jaguar, a funk band who's got a member that produced Jamiroqui. Instead we got to see Samuel Jon Samuelsson Big Band.

AMAZING! 15 piece afro/funk/groove/jazz band. Holy shit these guys are talented. We snagged the CD so I'll rip it for whoever wants a copy.

So now its 07;45 and we're getting ready for Mt. Hekla. Its going to be a long day but I'm not complaining. A volcano, a waterfall, more horses, possible snow and a hot spring. Hopefully I'll be able to get more video today.

Peace and love!
