Come on in! The water's warm in Iceland!

Reykjavik 101 is the central district of Iceland's metropolis. "101 Reykjavik" is the title of a recent novel and film that depicts the social whirl of the swingers, lovers, and losers who you might meet here - that is, if you happen to partake of life in the fast lane, Iceland style.

Jon Gunnar Arnason's modern sculpture "Sun-craft" is emblematic of Reykjavik itself: a blend of the traditional and the contemporary, in a setting of great natural beauty.

Clouds. Most likely, you'll see them in Reykjavik. They tend to be big and dramatic, like so much in this island of volcanos and glaciers.

FYI - the store has moved to Klapparstigur, one block down from Laugavegur. It is in with the Elvis store. The kid working there was very helpful.

Great page about my favorite Iceland. But still many things to explore. :)

What a great page on Reykjavik Region. The Apotek Restaurant sounded fantastic [both sides], and the Blue Lagoon experience seemed magnificent, even in WINTER. [or from your view, because it was WINTER!} Excellent narrative.

Nice start and cool pictures, but a little bit cold in March, don't you think? (From your Lake Superior-side brother)
