Captain’s Log-Day 3. Voyage of the Damned.

Traveling with a Busload of Torons.


We set out to Vik on the South Shore to stay over in the most remote area to see the Northern lights.  Obviously Icelanders don’t take advice from the group TLC, as all we did was chase waterfalls.  En route, we saw these cute squat Icelandic horses, who we learned can do 5 gaits (trot, Gallup, prance, lie about the Northern Lights, and lead you to herring). Those that can’t do the five gaits, apparently show up at the dinner table at your local smorgasbord.  The obvious sequel to Frozen will be called “So hungry, I could eat a non-trotting horse” as we follow the antics of a little colt named Pot Roast, who is too clumsy to prance.  The movie will have scenes much like at tonight’s dinner where Keith ate a meat only identified as “loin”, in this sequel, a Princess (Keith is a Queen, so it’s close) finds out “loin” was her favorite childhood pony.  After finding out that her pony made her the Galloping Gourmet, she sings “Let me blow!”  Anyway, that sequel is as likely as seeing the Northern Lights tonight through rain, snow, and clouds.  Yet, I remain optimistic!  (Did I mention falling & hitting my head on the ice?) That’s the only way to see stars here or Aurora Bore the hell out of me!
