I Was Born In A Small Town

We stopped for a brief time in the small Icelandic town of Eyrarbakki.  (Editor’s Note: Of course it is “Icelandic” – you are in Iceland for crying out loud!  Blogger: Crickets chirping.)

Giorgio was quite enthusiastic about the town.  There are not many towns in Iceland, and this was definitely one of them.  It was a former port, hard by the Atlantic, with a cute old church and a gas station.  It boasts a population of just over 500 people.  Tourists rarely make their way to Eyrarbakki, and, other than seeing a typical small town, there’s not much reason to.

Carol and I walked to the church, but it was locked.  After a quick break at the gas station/store, the bus hit the road to Reykjavik.
