A few pictures from the first two days in Iceland
We were rather tired after the trip to New York, so we didn’t take a whole lot of pictures the first couple of days in Iceland. Here is a sample of the few we took.
Thursday, June 25th, 2010.
Inga, one of Finnur's sisters, stopped by to say hi and let us greet the rather new Edda. She whipped up some waffles while she was here! The fourth person at the table is Anna, their (grand)mom.
Anna says hi to her niece, Edda. Oh, and the World Cup is on TV. Surprise!!! 🙂
Our body clocks are totally out of whack, and the midnight sun isn't helping. This is the view out the living room window at 2:40am, as it was starting to get bright again. The picture is actually too dark, but that's the only way to show the sky semi-properly. The weather was very still, and just lovely. 🙂

The kids have already caused much mayhem in the usually spotless house. There are pillows and toys here and there, and furniture is slightly misplaced. Oooops!
We drove to the 'West town' of Reykjavik, where my mom lives with two of my brothers. Nökkvi was also there, and three boys took the kids out to play (see the people on the swings on playground in the distance?). Sweet! 🙂
Mr. Beard, aka Nökkvi, the oldest of my brothers, and Anna.
Pétur, the second-oldest of my brothers, and Ásdís, my mom, with Bjarki (busy with a flashlight) and Anna (annoyed that we momentarily turned the tv off!).
Instead of squeezing into the kitchen, we used the new dining room table. There used to be a bedroom where the table now stands, but it was demolished when Nökkvi moved out.
