Up & Coming Fashion

Gone are the days of polar bear boots, baby seal throws, and arctic fox trimmings (Unless of course, you're Beyonce) and in are days of the new sea leathers! A growing fad within Iceland is apparently the use of sea leather, also known as fish leathers.

Coming in various varieties such as Salmon, Trout, and Wolf-fish it can be used for many applications such as jewelry, purses (accents), clothing (such as vests), and even for surfaces for coffee tables/foot stools. It's an interesting idea, dyed different colours –  sea leather can match any outfit!

Welcome to Reykjavik, Iceland

Greetings from Reykjavik!

Sorry for the delay in getting this next post out! We were laying fairly low the first few days while Matthew was recovering from the Calgary version of Travelers Revenge (aka food poisoning). So, really it's just been the last day and a bit which we've been out exploring the town and surrounding landscapes.

Dukoral.... The part they didn't tell you

Well, might be good for normal travelers diarrhea... But Matt's managed to find a version it doesn't cover..... Before we've even left Calgary. Sad, really.

Well... here we go!

So we've managed to not get detained by security for any abnormal substances or items... Now that we're waiting in the departure gate for our big trip, it might finally be sinking in that we're actually doing this.

More to follow from Seattle, assuming the evil empire of fresh roasted cylons doesn't hold us for ransom.
