Today Quiet and I , went to a open air museum. There was a farm there originally and there have been houses moved there from the old Reykjavík. We were there for full 4 hours and we had such a good time. Here are some pictures from it.

We don't have trains but this one was used to built Reykjavíks harbor 1907 I think. There is also a locomotive by the harbor.

    Great pictures and it looks like it was another fun day.  Those thin pancakes, are they like the French Crepes?

    Wonderful pictures again Skald.  I can tell Quiet really enjoyed the pancake.  The 'finer house' picture caught my eye for a couple of reasons.  The handiwork in that picture looks very much like the Norweigan Hardangar that my grandmother used to do.  I'm so glad the two of you are having such a great time.

    Hinana.  It was so interesting, the time just flew away.
    Uniquely. Quiet tell me they are something like those French Crepes.
    Botoni.  It is not wonder that it would be related to the Norwegian  Hardanger. The culture in those houses was probably very Danish and this is all related. Thanks.
    Wombie.  Yes, was she not looking good standing with him. If he was a life he would not have let her go. lol
    Secret.  It is my pleasure to post those pictures and tell you how things are going. Thanks.
    Lucy.  Maybe you will visit one day, who knows.
    Queen.  Wish you had been there.

    That table setting with cookies looks like it could have been at my grandmother's house in Denmark.

    Love the blue spandex pants in the one photo of 60s and 70s pop culture.
