First day of "work"

I take photos throughout the day, post them to my story, and write all of my notes in a @fieldnotesbrand notebook. .... 

Trying to make the most of daylight and weather, I worked on my research plan before sunrise (1100GMT) by emailing schools and museums to visit about professional development for teachers.

After dawn, today was another shopping adventure - pharmacy and a different grocery @kronan.is . Note to Americans traveling to Iceland - decongestants (even the fake Sudafed) aren’t available for purchase without a prescription. We found Mississippi Belle brand foods - made in New Jersey, shelves upon shelves of licorice (my dad’s favorite candy), Tabasco, sliced jalapeños, and chicken pad thai for two. 

Bob and I used the shopping excursions as reconnaissance for cooking comfort food for our hosts from @haskoli_islands and @geocampiceland . 

We also ventured to @vikingmuseum to get RMD acquainted with the history of the area. My work from the morning began to bear fruit as emails were returned from schools and museum educators willing to visit with me in the capitol area and Reykjanesbær. 

We warmed the pad Thai in the microwave oven and made a salad. The French honey crisp apples we bought yesterday made a great dessert. #mypeakstreak2019 #mpc2019 has turned into writing and keeping this account vibrant. Please share this account with friends and colleagues.  Best, E
