A view of Raleigh

A little bit of Raleigh, where I find myself for the moment. 

two years since a summer in Spain

Overlooking Olot, Catalunya

take a tour through Reykjavik with me

This was the beautiful view of Mt. Esja from my bathroom window in the hostel.

The view from inside a little cafe where I would order hot tea or coffee to 

warm up before braving the outdoors again.  Not much snow in this picture.

A view in the downtown area

I like this mural next to our hostel, though I have no idea what it says.

A good view of the Hallgrimskirkja, the national cathedral, where I enjoyed a beautiful though incomprehensible Christmas Eve concert.

Just starting to trudge away from the hostel into the town

Reykjavik is a really charming and picturesque little city.  This was snapped during the ~4 hours of daylight.

I adore this little fountain with a bridge.

Still more snow

A square downtown

Walking down onto the main shopping street, catching the last few minutes of daylight

Quirky Cafe Babalu, where I enjoyed a Christmas dinner with other clueless travelers who didn't realize all the shops would be closed.

A view from the harbor

This is my favorite photo, a view of Harpa, the Concert Hall.

The view from inside Harpa

Good night, Reykjavik!
