&lt;h2&gt;Green Mountain, Red House&lt;/h2&gt;
&quot;Is the house really THAT red?&quot; my wife asks me.  Yes, oh yes, it is...  But now I am taking her to Iceland with me, so she can see these bright colors for herself...

I don't know if it's a Scandinavian thing or what, but we just don't see colorful houses like this in the states.  I think we either have brick, or white, or slightly off-white, or perhaps a light beige, or maybe something daring like a mauve-eggshell-white...  I mean, I'm just as bad... mine in stucco.  I don't even think my homeowner's association would let me paint it red.  But, knowing Austin, with a bright red house, we'd probably have a few commies show up in Che Guevara shirts, wondering where the free pizza is...
