 Julie eating the first Icelandic pönnukökur she made herself Our group of 16 Snorris have now been with their relatives / host families for 10 days. It's always hard to be away from the group with a new family that they, in most cases, don't know at all. It seems like everyone is doing really well. Here is one short story from Julie Summers from Washington State. She is staying in a small fishing village called Patreksfjörður (Westfjords):
"So at the grocery store where I work there's a little notice board with all the latest happenings around town. Most of the signs are things 'til sölu' (for sale) but I noticed a sign about Þóra Arnórsdóttir, the presidential candidate. Turns out she was coming to do a little town hall meeting in town tonight. So after work I walked to the Sjóræningjahúsið (pirate house. seriously) to see her. She came with her husband and their baby (so cute! both of them actually ;). They were like half an hour late but as soon as they came in they were going around meeting people, so I met them both but of course forgot my Icelandic and could only manage to say 'hæ.' Anyway of course I only understood about 10 words of her speech but she seemed very personable. Oh, and of course my camera died as soon as I got there, so I didn't get any pictures. But I couldn't possibly make this up - a town hall meeting with a presidential candidate at the pirate museum. Gotta love this country :)
