Trip inside Iceland

We went on a fieldtrip with the course to south Iceland. We went through a few small town, one with many greenhouses and hot springs, and waterfalls. There really are only trees in the towns and cities here so we really only saw moss and shrubs for vegetation. But we saw a lot of mountains, lava fields, and lakes and rivers. We stopped at a beach on the ocean and the sand was black. I took pictures but I´ll try and post them later if I can. It was all very beautiful.

I´m kind of tired right now because I partied with some friends from the course last night. Leif busted out his guitar and he played some tunes and we tried to sing along to most of them. It´s kind of cool how we are such a global community and some songs most people know and can sing a long with, but even still there were many people didn´t know. The big hits were radiohead, coldplay, pink floyd, the beatles and nirvana (though we couldn´t quite remember all the lyrics to some so there was a lot of mumbling). Then we went to a bar downtown and danced the night away,, or almost. I finally left around 2:30am and it was still dusk out. Well that will probably change soon.

The weather has been really nice here, with blue skies and relatively warm. It was really windy the other day and it spits for short periods of time. I found out on the tour yesterday that every month in the year Iceland gets about the same amount of rain, and we get exactly the world´s average in a year. And the temperature is very mild throughout the year so it never gets very cold and never gets too hot. And the tour guide said that the average temperature in iceland is about the same as a fridge, and a fridge is used to keep food fresh, so icelandic people are fresh and last longer lol. Well that´s nice to know I won´t age a bit being here.
