I never tired of it. But, on the flip side of the coin, I didn't experience the long night of winter. <BR/><BR/>I'll be in Keflavik on Friday for just a few short hours laying over on the way to Milan tsduffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06457805824149563737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11802256.post-44859690855799157752007-05-24T05:02:00.000+02:002007-05-24T05:02:00.000+02:00I wondered the same thing when we were in Spain.

Do they keep this kind of a schedule, and then go to work in the morning? And Iceland, do you just sleep less and catch up in the winter? Suffer sleep deprivation? Or go to bed when it is too lovely outside Darien Fisher-Dukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02886321196588554175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11802256.post-60511652313640780042007-05-23T16:48:00.000+02:002007-05-23T16:48:00.000+02:00ck: Sounds similar to here!

As for the clothing, I think it's also that 45 degrees f CAN feel like summer in the absence of the Icelandic winter winds. Plus, there's always the hope that it'll suddenly get warmer on its own.<BR/><BR/>janni: I had that feeling a couple days ago when I went for an 11pm stroll around Hallgrímskirkja.

I hadn't know the weather was so disparate within a single season, though I shouldn't be too amazed since it was 37 (Fahrenheit, of course) the other night at the cabin on the tailend of an 83-degree day. And I'm...I don't know. Perhaps 20 latitudes south of Iceland? (Twin Cities, Minnesota...cabin only an hour north and 90 minutes east.)<BR/><BR/>I like that people say "Hell with cKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05361765660743618975noreply@blogger.com
