AKUREYRI

I really love this town and we are here for 4 days.  Lots to see in surrounding area.  They call it the capital of the North and it is delightful in every way.  About 18,000 people with the main industry----fishing. People make a good living here and lead a good life with good health care, good schools, and an easy town to walk in.  Our hotel in right in the middle of town and we enjoying walking each evening and seeing the locals. It has the best skiing in winter and a pretty mild climate ( Icelandic wise), and now since there is daylight all the time, one can play golf at midnight or just go anywhere, and people do! There are good resturants, a nice park and cultural center and virtually no crime.  Here are a few pictures I took on a walk tonight...and I mean at 10:00 pm!
