On this bright and beautiful Sunday we a) went to Fry’s and acquired a cheap android tablet, b) visited Lotta and \u00dalfar<\/a> (Icelanders), and c) visited Imelda and Stuart<\/a> (Irelanders… okok, Irish). \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Bjarki was sadly a little on the short side to be able to play properly. Awwww...<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Next-up: A near-impromptu meet-up with \u00dalfar and Lotta and their two kids. They invited us to a near-by pool at Green Meadows, that I knew nothing of. The kids got along great and had a blast, and we hope to see more of them when they come to Iceland this summer.<\/p><\/div>\n

A pasty-white Icelander trying to avoid a sunstroke. Lovely!<\/p><\/div>\n

And then: A late-afternoon visit to Imelda and Stuart whom we met when Imelda and I shared a room for a week during those not-fun-weeks in the antepartum ward of Lucile Packard Children's Hospital in 2007. <\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

They recently moved into a new house, which sports a ginormous play-room for the kids, which got thoroughly trashed during our visit - sorry! The kids started out being very shy of each other, but soon found a common language in LOUDNESS, and seemed to get along fine after that.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

A line-up of kids in front of a huuuuge teddy bear! \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Kids on the teddy bear...<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

They got re-excited after the teddy bear ruckus, but soon it was time to leave.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Their new house is huuuge, and very lovely! \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/div>\n

And that was the end of our last whole Sunday for this trip. \u00a0But it was a good one! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
