Iceland

I've arrived in Iceland on my birthday. It's nice and sunny. It's hard
to pick a defining image so I'll just go for this Viking that
overlooks the city. They're big on Vikings here. Vikings and pixies.
It's smaller and less grand than I thought it would be. Refreshing
after Toronto and it's G20 preparations. That was a living breathing
police state. Surreal with it's huge fence cutting up downtown and
windows boarded up and sculptures covered with wood and everything not
tied down taken away, like they're preparing for civil war. I'm off to
the thermal baths to forget all about it.
