Day 4- Independence day

Here it is, the ticket of a lifetime!  They don't want the tickets too big because normal bus fares are just so big that you don't know what to do with them.  I think I had to consciously think about holding it in my pocket for about 20 minutes. I think the best part was how we had to run to the other side of the street only to wait for half an hour in the wind.   Our lunch also consisted of icelandic hotdogs... not gonna lie, they were pretty swedish but they had different sauces on them.
  Here is just a picture of some of the Snorris walking around. (Jay, Michael, and Ásta Sól and her husband)

Ásta Sól- our Icelandic mom.  Chillest woman ever. She's doing the pose on her skirt.  I should have taken pictures of her outfits.  She definitely gives me a run for my money when it comes to fashion.

Heather is from Calgary. She's a fellow snorri and definitely one of the coolest.  We were talking to each other while we walked around that day and I just took a quick picture of her.

So that day we went to a huge party just south of Reykjavik.  There was a lot of music and tons of classic/muscle cars.  I think the best part about iceland is definitely the water.  Fresh bottled water and tap water are the same so it doesn't matter where you get it.  We all got pretty thirsty while we were there but since I'm uber cheap I refused to spend 4 bucks on water and I found a bathroom and drank from the sink.  The best part was that it tasted great.  After that we went to the house of the Snorri founder to have dinner and chat.  The best and most memorable part of the whole experience was when he was giving his speech.  He started by saying how happy he was that we were here representing the Snorri program and that the program was having it's 10th anniversary.  He expounded on how we are a remnant of the Icelanders and their culture.  He then went on to say how pleased he was that I (he even called me Thor) was here, that he was so excited to finally have a descendant from the first immigrants from Iceland there in the program and said that my family held significance in the icelandic immigration to America.  He said he was grateful that I was able to make it to Iceland and hopes that I remember this experience. He said that they have never had one negative experience from the Snorri program and they don't plan on it happening.  The whole day was worth hearing that speech he gave about the Spanish Fork Icelanders.  It made me feel very distinct and noteworthy because I was the only Snorri he mentioned by name.  He has always been nice to me, always calls me Thor, which I love, and is just an all around nice guy.  I don't have any pictures of us together yet on my camera but I'll make sure to post them later.
