Arni says to me, as we're driving home to our Reykjavik suburb of Kopavogur from his parents' farm Sunday night. The boys are asleep in the back. (It was getting dark after 11pm when we arrived two months ago. Now, it's before 8pm and dropping FAST).
Yes, I see it.
"It's good he's in front of us because if he tips over then we'll know it's too windy to drive."
Oh, well that's comforting. Then he points out an overturned vehicle on the side of the road. I'm feeling so much better now. I found out the next day that there was a strong warning about driving the route back to Reykjavik. We'd had crazy winds all weekend at the farm, but did that stop us from being outside a lot? Noooooooo. Stefan even hiked with me up a mini mountain by the farm to see the horses who were grazing up there. They are so friendly and most of them come right up and give nuzzles. Gellir (pronounced Get-Lir) the awesome farm dog came with us and was our protector. That is, until he saw a pack of sheep he just had to run after and herd for a bit.
Stefan started school yesterday - this pic was taken just as we were headed out the door for the one minute walk - so I may finally find some time soon to get this long-promised blog going. In the meantime, feel free to browse our pics at:
