Anna's physical therapist recommended that she should go out and jog, so I dragged her out one gorgeous day.

We turned out to be a tortoise and hare team. I would crawl along at a slow but mostly steady pace, while Anna would walk and then sprint to catch up with me.

We had to make a library run downtown, and saw the crowds gathering for what would be Iceland's final football game in the Euro cup. The hot dog stand was very busy!

An hour or so later I returned downtown to drop Finnur and Anna off, as they were going to watch the game with some friends. Downtown was packed, but sadly, we lost the game. Awwww.
