On January 17 there was a snowstorm in Reykjavík. I took a walk down some residential streets to enjoy the view. There are still so many people with their Christmas lights up! I love it :)

All the houses have pretty fences around them. Some are plain concrete but some are so intricate!

| I just love the snow and pretty lights! |
On Wednesday, my friend Simmi gave me a tour of the outskirts of Reykjavík. We ended up at a little beach with a great view of Yoko Ono's peace light.

| At the end of the rocks on the left there is a light that shines straight into the air from October 9, John Lennon's birthday, to December 8, the day he died. |
Handball is an absolutely huge sport here in Iceland. The Men's World Championships run from January 13-30.

When I have an errand to run I try to take streets I haven't spent much time on yet, to discover new things!

| This bookstore looks like I could get lost in it for hours |
