Roadtrips...

I am currently sitting in a computer lab of a school in the town of Stykkishólmur, Iceland. This is where we are staying the night. We drove to this town this afternoon for a game that started at 7:15.. it was a 3 hour bus trip and we arrived at about 6:45. Give us 15 minutes to change and then 15 minutes to warmup, lets just say I was a little rusty when the game started. After the game we showered at the gym, then hurried to the local pizza place before it closed. I was skeptical of the name "3 fish" but like you always hear don´t judge a book by its cover.. The pizza was delicious. Along with the pizza they served fries, I have noticed fries are a big side here, and are served with most meals. I am not really complaining as at least it is something I like. Which brings me to another story, last night my Coach invited me to dinner at his families house, he said his wife will be cooking an Icelandic dish. I was excited to try some Icelandic food, that was until he told me what it was. Lamb liver and kidneys... hmm good thing his wife cooked a plan B of chicken and pasta, which was very good.
So anyways we have practice in the morning and then we play another game in the afternoon before we head back home. I can already tell I will be exhausted by Saturday evening and hoping that we will have Sunday off to relax.
Before we left town today, I did a little exploring around the city I live in. I first went to the bank and picked up my debit card, which was a relief to finally get that, as I had been paying in cash for everything so far. Lets just say it sometimes took me awhile to count out the exact amount for what I am paying for and probably getting on the cashiers nerves, as well as the other people in line. After that I went to the grocery store, a different one then I went to the other day due to the fact I got some ads in the mail for this one and wanted to check it out. I bought a couple things but will return there again shortly to make a bigger purchase. After that I just drove around exploring a little and finding out where things were exactly. I found the subway, a big relief, as well as the mexican joint called Serrano. Both will visited frequently during my stay here. After all of that and surprisingly not getting lost I headed back home to eat some lunch before we left town.
All in all I think it has been a pretty successful day as well as a new experience. I can only hope I have the same luck tonight when I try and sleep, as I sometimes struggle with sleeping in new places. Good thing I packed some tylenol PM and made a good playlist on my Ipod before I left. So with that I am off to bed... Until next time have a great day and take care!!
