Diary / Dagbókin August 24, 2010 Where did the summer go? Wow I must be getting old. It has been a busy one and went by so fast it is kind of a blur. Did some very exciting things, like stayed in a tent on Flatey. Golfing in Hecla. Lots of hot geothermal pools. Had time to spend with the family. The list goes on and on. June 22, 2010 Well last week was busy, this week quiet and next week the family arrives. I guess I better enjoy the quiet time now, Wrapping things up at the school. Not sure what else I should write. June 16, 2010 Well the volcano seems to have stopped. Still a good amount of steam rising but no ash. Finally getting a little busier with driving and guiding. National Day tomorrow so day off. Doing a tour with a friend from Gimli and his daughter. The summer will not be very busy but that is nice too sometimes. May 25, 2010 Well the touring season has begun for me anyways. May 14 to 16th went on a Spring Tour with the Tourist guide Assoc. We explored Snæfellsnes thoroughly and spent a full day with a volcano expert, Haraldur Sigurðsson. This past weekend I did a tour of the Westfjords, with a group of Icelandic young people. Great weather and scenery. It is always great to explore that area. No the challenge of getting back to my regular work.
May 8, 2010 Today I took my new (older) 4X4 for a ride to the south coast. Pretty spectacular sights. I did not go that close to the eruption but I am still have ash in my hair and other places. May 4, 2010 Well classes are over for another term. Exams started this week and will go on for the next 2 weeks. The volcano continues. I guess it will go on for sometime yet. I attended the Icelandic National League of North America annual meeting which was held in Toronto this year. I took some photos there and you can check them out at http://www.flickr.com/photos/78627699@N00/sets/72157623824648271/ I had a great time and it was great connecting with all the people from all over North America. April 15, 2010 Like usual I have been kind of slow at updating this page. I have been keeping really busy and the tourist season is shaping up to be a busy one. Second volcano has started and pretty spectacular sights. Airports in Europe are shut down because of the ash. Highway # 1 is closed and who knows when it will be open again? Þorvaldseyri, South Iceland
Britain: WTF Iceland?!? Why did you send us volcanic ash? Our airspace has shut down. Iceland: What? It's what you asked for isn't it? Britain: NO! Cash! Cash you dyslexic f**k. CASH! Iceland: woooops... To the British and Dutch Governments: There is no C in the Icelandic alphabet, so when you ask for Cash, all you get is Ash...
