Day 29- Asphalt Mill

So today instead of weed wacking, some of us went to the asphalt factory. Here are Guðjón, Ole, and Nori standing by the van.
The Westman islands have two exports; fish and asphalt.
So you get way dirty and here is Rupp getting his butt kicked at a game of Scum.  Pretty sure I was pres every hand, mainly because I had all the 2s
Here is the future of Icelandic music.  He was voted top teen drummer of Iceland.
Late nights with my boss Jón are always fun... mainly because he's so drunk I have to show him the pics the next day for him to remember what he did.
Here´s a video of the asphalt mill.

Day 28- Football and Boating

So work gets boring... Luckily we played a few football games together.  We play a game where we try to kick the ball as many times as we can before it touches the ground.  about half of them suck (including me) but I learned a good phrase for one of them "ekki nekla!"  which means don't kick it so hard!
Pretty sure if there is a boat named after you, it means you're cool.  
So Jóhanna and her family decided to take me on a boat to see the island.  Here are a few pics.

So when we were boating around some of the islands, there were cliffs with lots of seagulls, here is a pic of a fallen chick, so we tried to put it back.
