Days One and Two in Iceland

Shots from our first two days in Reykjavik:





The following pictures chronicle our experience eating fermented shark and drinking brennivĂ­n. The shark smelled like ammonia and didn´t taste much better. Although I´m not a huge fan of hard liquor, Jared loved the traditional Icelandic schnapps, brennivĂ­n (aka the black death), and ordered two more shots with his dinner.






This was our dinner last night at Islanski Barinn. Jared ordered the mixed grill, and I ordered the chef´s special. Among other things, we feasted on puffin, herring, goose, arctic char, monkfish, and roasted root vegetables. It was divine.
