Each and every day without fail a small, yellow oil tanker-like ship goes out into the middle of Reykjavik´s harbor and kind of hangs around there. I don´t know what it does but is a constant presence. Perhaps in the course of a day it goes across to Akranes.

A very heavy snow squall came across this morning but nothing lasting as is normally the case here. However, it was enough to cause a mini white-out en route to work which for me is a short 4 kilometer drive. I noticed that the wind kicked up quite a lot of surf in the outer harbor.

When I arose around 6am today I heard the usual distant sound of car tires on wet pavement. This is one of my earliest recollections of being in Iceland. Don´t know exactly why since it´s a universal sound.

Tax day is one week from today, similar to April 15th in the USA. A friend at Landsbanki said he would connect me with someone but no word yet. My tax situation is easy, but still need someone to do it. Haven´t the slightest idea otherwise.
