| The church is at a high point in the city of Reykjavik. The streets here are lined with high-end shopping. |
 |
| The male troll was outside a shop along the walk up the hill. |
 |
| The architect planned the steeple for a lower height. The powers-that-be insisted he change it so it would be higher than the Catholic church. |
 |
| The pipes for their magnificent organ. |
 |
| The organist was practicing within a roped off area surrounded with signs asking that he not be disturbed. We were annoyed that he stopped playing for a long time to talk to this woman, but then I realized she was probably the Bishop of the church so, you know....... |
 |
| Leif Erickson's statue is in front of the church. |
 |
| We visited with the female troll on our way back down the hill. |
 |
| The Harper Opera House is right across from our hotel. At night the windows are lighted, usually to mimic the northern lights, but sometimes with political messages. |
 |
| One can wander around inside The Harper and enjoy the views from 6 or 7 levels. |
 |
| This unassuming hot dog stand is said to have the best hot dogs in the world. Bill Clinton famously ate one here and Sarai told us true Viking women eat two with all the fixings(raw white onions and crispy fried onions, ketchup, sweet brown mustard called pylsusinnep, and remoulade, a sauce made with mayo, capers, mustard, and herbs), so that's what I did. |
 |
| This woman has worked here for many years and she served Bill Clinton his. The picture of the occasion is on the wall behind here. |
 |
| The hot dogs were pretty darn good! They are made with mostly lamb, along with some pork and beef and they more than fill the bun. |
 |
| Kris and Heidi enjoy their Pylsu. |
