Reykjavik, Iceland

I'm mid way through week two of the new job.

The good... really like my coworkers and what I'm doing.
The place has a great feel to it.  I think it's a place where I can really settle in.

The bad... three hour commute each day is obviously a struggle.
And not having the time I once had to devote to this blog.
I'm hating that I haven't responded to all of your great comments from the past week.
But, I'll get to it.   I just have to find my rhythm. 

I think it's time to wrap up our trip to Iceland,
so today I'm sharing photos from the city of Reykjavik.

For a variety of reasons, when we drove into the city I felt like I
could be driving into any US big city.  Other than the language, it looked and felt so familiar.
 We didn't have much time to explore so we focused on the waterfront and old town along with a few other wonderful sites.   We used the car so we could see as much as possible.

Of course, we had to stop for a famous Icelandic hotdog.

The colors that morning were just glorious, all whites, greys and blues.

I'm not sure what the building is but these are some of the best murals I've ever seen.

I must have taken a hundred pictures of the Sun Voyager, but I've narrowed it down to two.

We also ventured to the Western tip of Reykjavik and the area of "Grótta.”
I feel like a broken record but the views in  Iceland are just stunning!

Our last stop was the Hallgrímskirkja Church.

Our little morning tour gave us just a taste of this stunning city.
But I didn't mind because by this time I realized that we
will be returning to Iceland to see more.

What are your favorite spots in Reykjavik?
