Just When I Was Starting to Think Iceland Wasn't One of Those Joke Countries

So, I got a call from The Swede at about 5:45 yesterday morning, a couple of hours before his plane was supposed to take off from Keflavik International Airport in Iceland, where he had spent the past four days with his colleagues.  Thing was, he wasn't going to be flying home for awhile because a volcano had just erupted.  Um, excuse me?  Yes, that's right.  This same man who had spent hours and hours in the middle of nowhere on a train in a blizzard just weeks before was now being trapped in Iceland because of a volcano that hadn't erupted in almost 200 years.  Obviously he has all the luck.  And obviously I totally didn't take this picture.
