The entire city of Reykjavik has around 100,000 residents, which is pretty small for a capitol city, but massive for Iceland! 1/3 of the entire population lives here! What really astounded me though was how
hip the entire city was. It didn't feel like a small city at all, it felt like a thriving, cosmopolitan, artistic metropolis! I just didn't expect it! I am really glad that we spent the last portion of our trip here, because I think it really would have distorted my perceptions of Iceland if we had started here. It just is so different from the rest of the country! But, I am glad we had a few days to experience it.
Also, a note about that lighthouse: I hiked up to the top with a few other students and the view was beautiful, but it was so windy that we literally could lean backwards and not fall because the wind was supporting was. crazy!
I spent one morning on that couch journaling and sipping a cup of tea in the loft of this place we were staying at. It was perfectly cozy and chill.
You can't see it, but the text to the right of the tiger says "No, Rules!"
I thought for a long time about buying this photo print of the Eyjafjallajökull eruption, but I ended up passing. It's pretty dope though, right?
