Laugardagur at Laugarvatn

[Written 13 September 2013.  Yes, I’m over a month behind.  Deal with it.]

Icelanders like the word ‘laugar’.  It means ‘pool’ or ‘bath’, usually of the natural kind and geothermally heated.  Laugardagur is Saturday, and Laugarvatn is PoolWater.  I guess one was supposed to bathe on Saturdays in the olden times?

Pool-thoughts aside, we spent a long weekend with Guðrún and Snorri and two of their kids at the summer house.  First up was a lazy Saturday (5 images total):

Our kids, barely able to eat their breakfast because the morning kiddie TV shows were on.

Steinunn, Einar and Þórarinn Víkingur were hanging out in the summer house next door and stopped by to say hi.
