So, there were limited photos from this day, but check out this pink footed goose that we spotted on the walk to class.
Remember going to school for the first time back in elementary school? …Walking hand in hand with Mom or Dad; thoughts about who you’ll eat your lunch with; who your best friend will be. Today was our first day of school. Though we may have not shared exactly the same thoughts as a kindergartener, as third-, fourth-, and graduate students, our thoughts were centered more around the speakers presenting and topics surrounding sustainability and topics of Iceland. Today’s catch: Social aspects of energy and fuel use in 20th century Iceland, Geology of Iceland, Economics, and Draft policy on sustainability.
And after a hard day’s work, what better way to wind down than to relax in a geothermally-heated pool bordered by – *ahem* – sand imported from Morocco. And the best part?…Maybe getting a slight brain-freeze from taking a dip in the ocean.
Enjoying the finer things in Icelandic life.
Iceland is a magical place eh?
