Time in Iceland

Observations

Icleanders are pretty reserved.  They will not volunteer information, but if you ask, they are helpful and mostly friendly.  In a restaurant, you have to ask for the bill when you are ready to leave.

Icleanders don't speed much, but they do tailgate.

Islanders love pizza.  It is on every restaurant's menu, usually a dozen or more varieties.  They also like to serve salad on top of pizza or pasta.

I thought that Icelanders, being acclimatized to cooler weather, would keep their stores and houses relatively cool.  No.  We have all been too warm indoors.

There is very little crime - Icleanders are very trusting.  We saw bikes not chained up on the street, and in Heimaey, a baby in the carriage left on the sidewalk while her parent(s) were in the store.  She was so cute and happy I wanted to take her home, but Bear says no more babies or kittens.

This has to be the neatest, cleanest country ever.  Even cabs and public bathrooms are spotless.
