Thor does Iceland

Picture it. Reykjavik, 2016. Our minibus arrives promptly at 8:30 for our Golden Circle tour, led by our fearless leader... Thor.  Picture what you think Thor looks like. Then scratch that and imagine a friendly, old, Nordic grandpa. And there you have Thor. 
Pictures are going to speak a thousand words today!  Check out some of the exciting stops we made... Some waterfalls, a tectonic plate divergent boundary (ugh, being in two continents at once is so old news), the geysir, etc etc. We had peanut butter and honey sandwiches (THANK YOU TE & KAFFI FOR THE DONATED HONEY PACKETS) and an English cucumber for lunch. 
Thor's joke of the day: How do you get out of an Icelandic forest if you're lost?  Stand up. 
The bus of tourgoers laughed and laughed, since the shrubbery in the "forest" was about a foot high. Thor tolerated our laughing for a split second, then said, "Please do not make fun of our trees. We are very proud of our forests." 
We ended the day with a couple street chicken wraps!
Good night from Reykjavik!
