Days 5-9

photo by Kat Griffith

I have been staying on a farm called Galtalæk for the past four days. I now have an Icelandic Momma whose name is Sigurbjörk; she cooked dinner for us every night and showed us her horses. She took pride in her husband´s (Chops´) paintings. She said he doesn´t make girls--that´s why she has five sons.

We went to the national park in Þingvellir.

In a very arid region where soil erosion occurs, we planted over 6,000 trees. Dave says it will offset our plane rides to Iceland.

In the glorious sunny weather we discussed how food, community, and businesss affect the environment.

Tomorrow, I will leave for a four day hike. Glaciers will be involved. I´ll be back,

VERTU SÆL! (be happy)
