1. It is very icy.
2. Cars get stuck in the snow.
3. Some people's waterproof shoes are not really waterproof
4. An ice scraper works as an excellent instrument to dig out snow from under the car
5. Even if they are in a hurry, Icelandic strangers who are not happy that you flagged them down will tie ropes to your car and help pull you free
6. Making phone calls is easy... yes. I have made several very random phone calls today. They answer in Icelandic, but do an excellent job of switching to English.
7. They don't sell bread or beer in the grocery store.
8. If you step off the path the snow is potentially past your thigh...
9. Layers are awesome.
Today was an interesting one. Everyone is wiped out but absolutely fine. Some articles of clothing are far more wet than others. We froze a bit, we laughed a lot, we marveled at the raw beauty of Iceland. This site explains the Rift Valley at Thingvellier a bit more...
