One last blog tonight, I promise!

My apologies for the severe lack of blogs followed by four in one night - I forgot one more little adventure to tell you about!  We've already got blog-worthy plans for the next two nights, so I wanted to get these posted before I became swamped in pictures and stories.

We were driving between field sites on the Ring Road, Iceland's major highway, when we saw this:

First off, that's what happens to your windshield after driving in midge columns.  More importantly, that's a horse walking down the Ring Road, with three accomplices grazing in the ditch.  These were escaped horses from one of the neighboring farms, and they looked like they were having a grand old time sampling this ungrazed space and occasionally sauntering up to see what's happening on the road.  We stopped in at Daddi's Pizza and told them about the horses.  Since everybody in Iceland knows everybody else, the woman working at Daddi's simply called the farmer and let him know about the horses.  Crisis averted!
