A Wetter Wind

Thousands of folks are in line at the Burning Man gate today. Instead, we arrived in Reykjavik this morning. Iceland decided to welcome us Burners with a day of intense wind but bearing rain instead of dust.

It was drizzly and gusty in the morning and early afternoon while we navigated our way to picking up a car, then lunch (OMG airplane recovery), then the supermarket. We even caught a glimpse of sky as we headed east towards Selfoss. We unloaded our bags at the rental cabin during a patch of dryness. Sorry thereafter the intense rain picked up with 35+ MPH winds that haven't really let up in five hours. So much for a walk along the lake shore to decompress from the travel.

The rain makes a lovely sounds on the roof, though, and we're all warm and dry. Hopefully the wind dies down tomorrow so we aren't literally blown away at the site of the Althing.
