markets
a highlight of iceland was the flea market. there were so many things to see and be seen. there were endless amounts of books, stacked on top of each other, one after another. literary classics, icelandic history, saga's, artists, everything you could possibly imagine. some were in english, some not.gudni and i picked up a book by eddo, an icelandic artist with amazing detail in his work.. i loved looking around the market because i saw alot of rarities you'd never find in the mainstream. old dolls, tacky vintage dresses, and paintings that probably belong on your grandma's wall. they're were candlesticks, beautiful lace, icelandic wool sweaters hung up to wear, mexican sombreros, plush ponies, old records, and even a vast selection of tomato soup! it's the greatest way of getting to know a country and it's story. it was a wonderful place to be, i definitely plan on visiting again.
