Reykjavik

The capital of Iceland, Reykjavik is a charming city. While most of Iceland's sights are out in the countryside, there is enough to do in Reykjavik to keep you busy for an afternoon, particularly in the old town.

	Brightly colored buildings along Reykjavik's oldest square.		The Althing, Iceland's parliament.
	An old church across the street from the Althing.		A group of kids come down the aisle of the church.
			Susanne views the church altar.
	A late 19th century house, now a restaurant.		Close-up of the building.
	Approaching Reykjavik's monolithic cathedral.		The cathedral is an imposing concrete structure, evoking lava flowing down a volcano.
	The cathedral was hosting an art exhibit featuring silver statues.		Closeup of the statue.
	From the cathedral's bell tower we had a fine view of the city.		Two churches far to the west of the cathedral.


			Two very happy kids enjoy popsicles on a sunny afternoon.
