Since it's off season (anything between October and May is pretty much off season in Iceland), there was only one place to go out to eat around the whole lake (about 35km circumference) -- and there aren't many places to eat here anyway. So, we took dinner at the Sel Hotel, arguably the only hotel and restaurant in Iceland run by a gay Spanish and Icelandic couple. The food was delicious, and Adolfo, the Spanish guy, was great and got along swimmingly with Leah. Tho, Leah didn't enjoy the geyser bread (search for Iceland on the page), baked underground and heated geothermally. It's made with dark brown flour and lots of molasses. She would have preferred it hot, with some soy butter on it.
One night we found ourselves sleepless in Mývatn, so we put ourselves to sleep by reading the abridged Icelandic history in our guide books. I actually find it interesting, but the guide books don't seem to do it justice.
