After spending nearly a week with Nonni and exchanging stories about families and kids we were happy to have his family join us for dinner. Jón(Nonni), Auður and Hannes are as cute a family as you could meet, and although little Hannes (8 months) was a bit nervous at first, especially about the weird guy with long hair, he warmed up to us very quickly and was the center of attention from then on. Even helped me tend to the fire in the lounge.
Since Hannes’ bedtime was a little earlier than ours, we decided to keep the lounge fire going, and have a few cocktails, and it was there that we met Elizabeth and her husband (whose name I really couldn’t quite catch) of 50 years celebrating their anniversary! She was singing along with every piano song and dancing the night away. Stole a dance with her and learned she was the President of Reykjavik’s Accordion Club. She got a kick out of learning we call them squeeze boxes…
We did fish that day as well, but the evening produced the long lasting memories…

| Just after this photo, the guy to the right caught and landed a massive (30”?) char. We fished the spot for three hours prior…😂 |
Lake fishing in the cold wind and overcast is as much a mental as physical effort…
