Random thoughts

As Tanisha and I sit sipping hot cocoa in a quaint bistro with cows jaunting by the window, waiting for Chasity to complete her mountain waterfall hike (wtf?!?! The steps she is taking are like Great Wall of China height! 27 floors!) we are recalling some funny moments.

Things said or seen while driving:

1) Chasity has an entire philosophical viewpoint on what kind of sheep she would be. She has this thought out. In a warm environment, like Greece, she would be a white sheep to keep the sun away. But in a cold climate like Iceland, she definitely votes black sheep to stay warmer. 

Tanisha and I just thought the black sheep were cuter. 


2) Chasity believes she has found the fat round sheep that are the source of the sheep emoji. She also thinks they are cute runners. Whereas, I just want to know how they escape their fences to the main road. 

3) There are signposts that display your speed, much like in the US, but one we saw actually had a light up frowny face if you were over the limit and then made a smiley face if you complied. We have only seen one of these. 

4) There is serious horse and sheep segregation here. They don't seem to mix. We did however see one sheep and horse friend pair today. Breaking the mold!

5) Roadsigns are hysterical. They fit every bit of info they can and all you can see are consonants (many k) and odd vowels. These signs also randomly display the temperature in towns. 

6) while we are nowhere, we have passed ten restaurants. What we haven't seen is a gas station. In fact yesterday we drove two plus hours and never saw one. There were actual towns without one. Not sure what people do?
