This was a part of the Food and Fun festival, so there was just one set menu.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

Everything was yummy!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

I went to the restroom, as one does, and never ever have I been in a public restroom with a MIRROR besides the toilet itself. It was a little disconcerting.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

Lovely dessert, mmm…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The remnants of a huge snow-pile on the parking lot at work. The sand and dirt insulates the snow, and it melts very slowly.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

We were a few days out from a triple-couples-trip to Tenerife for a few days, so I decided to get my legs de-haired by a professional.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

After work I joined a hiking group I’d signed up with, in spite of my Achilles tendons being eternally iffy. This was a flat walk, but on the speedier side.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

There are a bunch of paths in the area, and most of them were quite soggy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

Checking out the small semi-natural shelter hidden in the lava-field. I’d been there twice before, but it’s always fun to visit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

Taking a nourishing bite.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

I was very pink!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

A nice view. It’s easy to see where the lava stopped flowing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

By where the scouts hang out. Their big house is on the other side of the trees on the left (I think), but they (or somebody) has built a public toilet for visitors.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

Only slightly muddy, and only slightly sore.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Finnur’s sock pile, as he was about mid-way through sorting through it as we were packing for our trip. (I generally don’t wear socks as they are just a pain to launder and sort.)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
