Icelandic Story

Well I have my first good Icelandic story. Today we were got off our bus, and as it was pulling out of the parking lot, Mike realized he had forgotten his camera on the bus (we were inside an information building). With my backpack on, I started running after the bus waving my arms in the air trying to catch the drivers attention. Of course it didn´t work. The bus went out of sight and I was just starting to walk when a girl called out from her vehicule that she would take me to the bus. So I hopped into the vehicule figuring an Icelandic girl seemed pretty harmless. She tried her best to catch the bus. I kept saying how greatful I was and she said "this is a government vehicule, so the government is paying for it" and laughed. We caught the bus shortly after and found the camera. Poor Mike of course had no idea where I was because he had still been inside when I took off in the vehicule. And when he went outside, I was gone. So we found him running down the road looking for me.

What a nice thing to do for a strange tourist!! I told her that I already thought Icelandic people were so lovely, but now I had definate proof. She laughed and said she was glad I would have a story that made Icelanders sound like wonderful people.

I guess I´m not really one to talk about not reading blogs or commenting, I only occasionally check blogs and rarely leave comments. But Sarah it´s nice to hear from you, it´s been a while.

Aunt Noreen, that´s really exciting about Emma Rose. I will look forward to hear about her progress!!!
