Quasi-Canadian Visitors
[Written on 13 August 2012]
Back when we lived in California, Finnur had three Icelandic work colleagues located in Canada. One has now relocated to Iceland, another to Sweden, but the third has remained in Canada, and we generally refer to him as Canada-Siggi. 🙂
Canada-Siggi and his family were in Iceland this summer, and we invited them for dinner, because we hadn’t seen them in so many years! (Past encounters here (2004 in Montreal), here (2005 in CA), here (2005 in CA), here (2005 in CA), and here (2006 in CA).)
The camera came out way late, or just as they were about to head off.
The two ‘little’ boys are now all (or mostly) grown up!
Feeling nostalgic I decided to recreate this image from way back when (see also below).
Anna and Ísold in July 2005 (a whopping SEVEN years ago!). Those are the same red chairs as above! 🙂
Anna being silly, and Bjarki wanting some attention too… 🙂
The two leaners.
Awww, a hug. 🙂 Not quite a smoooootch like way back when, but awwww-worthy anyway.
Here be said smooootch. 🙂
Siggi offering his hand up for abuse by his not-so-small-son. He took full advantage. 🙂
Yvonne giving Bjarki a goodbye-hug. 🙂
The departing visitors. Happily the weather was nice and calm. 🙂 Btw, see that person up on the hill in the background?…
That ‘person’ was Anna herself, who soon zooomed past us without shoes or a helmet. We were not amused…
