Iceland #6 Davening in Iceland

So we land in Iceland at 6:30 am, pick up our rental car, and stop at the first picnic area we see, which happens to be in the middle of a lava field, so that Bob and Larry can daven shacharit.

While they were davening, some guy comes off a hiking trail, takes a long look at them, and we start getting a little nervous.  Then the guy says, "And my mother told me I wouldn't see another Jew in Iceland!"

Iceland #5 Why Iceland?

When we told anyone we were going to Iceland it went one of three ways:

 1. Why Iceland?

 2. -On a cruise?
     -No
     -So how are you getting there?
     -We’re flying
     -And then you’re taking a cruise?

3. Iceland! Everyone I know is going to Iceland!

FYI - To answer #1, here are just a few reasons

Iceland #4 Place Names

Is it any wonder we generally had no idea where we were in Iceland? 

Iceland #3 Handicapped Parking

The Icelanders are much bigger than we are. I think it's the Viking heritage.

Iceland #2 How Much Does This Tomato Cost?

Figuring out how much stuff cost in Iceland is like a 7th grade math problem.

First - Convert Icelandic Kroner to dollars : 1000 Icelandic Kroner = $7.50
Note: They use a comma to indicate separation between whole numbers and the decimal value. In other words, the price of tomatoes in the photo of 453,29 we would write as  $453.29.

Second - Convert Kilograms to Pounds : 1 kg = 2.2 lbs

Third - Convert Meters to Centigrade : Whatever ...

Fourth - Say "Forget about all this, we're on vacation, just buy it"
