Thanks for posting all these pictures, they make me homesick! I grew up in the house right above yours in Fuglafjørður, the white one with a red roof. I'm currently studying in Aberdeen, Scotland. I've been looking through many of your albums, and the pictures are great. You are brilliant at catching Fuglafjørð with the camera. Don't stop! The view of that sunrise is pretty much the view I grew up with, quite different from the grey buildings I have around me now. Hey, Jennifer.

I don't recall that you get too deep an accumulation, though, even in the dead of winter. Am I right about that? I'm trying to recall your posts from last season. The wandering geese, by the way, are a wonderful sight... I'm going to make sure my wife sees these.

All the best, Elly - Petra's grandson (via Beinta) Sjurdur's girlfriend - we met once briefly at Petra's a couple of years ago - perhaps we'll see each other at a family gathering at Christmas? lol...

I am glad you are able to keep in contact with us at home in the U.S. and share your experiences with us. I like the new color of your little house. The picture of the clouds is especially beautiful to me. Will you be getting a car on this trip? Our weather has turned a little warmer again--highs into the 80's. Until next time, Miriam Hello Jenny,
