Last day in Europe

Inserted 12/08/17: 

Today was a day just to wander around Reykjavik.  We walked to the water and learned about the history of Reykjavik as a port and observed a lot of swans in a lake.

 After days of eating at gas stations and convenience stores, we had lunch at a true Icelandic restaurant called Sæta Svinid Gastropub.  The food here was amazing!!  You could get whale, horse, and puffin (all things people eat in Iceland) and although we like to try foods of different lands, the horse and whale sounded a little scary so we tried some smoked puffin.  Since it was smoked, it just kind of tasted like jerky.  Besides that, Carl had a lamb sandwich (his first real meal in several days!) and I had seafood soup which were both super tasty.

 To cap off the day we walked through an outdoor art gallery (lots of weird sculptures) and checked out the Hallgrimskirkja ( a church).

Our final day in Iceland also marked our final day in Europe so it was time to head to the airport and fly back to Boston.
