Shameless bump...........

I've had a lot of members calling me and telling me that they are comming to my rally this year and that is great...but, members are not signing up on the calendar...if you are attending or think you are attending , please sign up so I can get a more accurate food count.. I hate to run out of food or drinks.....also, if you are attending the train ride on Sunday please let us know so that we can get a group rate and reserve seats....Last year we had about seventy attend...this year we have only 25 or so sign up...I know this number is way off....please help me make this event another success as in past years by signing up if you plan to attend....thanks everyone....

Taters and I made it back home last night around midnight...It was a very long day with a lay over in Boston of 9 hours(enough time for a lobster dinner).....Nice to be home, but the heat here is nuts .......over 100 degrees...we're not used to that around here...Our trip was absolutely FANTASTIC........Thank you Jonas and Greta for being our host and tour guides...We love the both of you ....your family is terrific and made two strangers feel so welcome....loved the bakery, never saw a bakery the size of 4 football fields....WOW...............Jonas, I had no problem with the salmon and customs, and I picked up the special green bottle at the airport for the cook.......I really don't know how to put into words what Iceland is like except "ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC...." everyone will speak english for us foreigners so communicating was easy...(sometimes the tour guides will mess with your heads though) ..... so next year when you plan your vacation, keep Iceland in mind you won't be dissapointed.....ps...and the police are friendly too ! :rotf: Again, thank you Jonas and Greta for a wonderful week....... :bowdown:

Well, we are getting close to the end of our trip here....We will be leaving the summer home today and traveling back to Jonas's house with a stop at the blue lagoon.....Tomorrow is a travel day...early start and late arrival home back in Buffalo...This has been an eye opening experience.....This country is wonderful, from the people, their respect for their environment AND each other, their love of their heritage and their country....We in the States have a LOT TO LEARN......Gonna miss Iceland....If you ever have a chance to visit here jump at the oppertunity, you will be pleasantly supprised at what you find ....WEATHER has been in the 60"s all week and it can get breezy in some places. In winter, They get much less snow here than I do in Alden NY........ catch you all later

That is an understatement !!!

The shark tasted OK, but smelled like old ........Well, you wanted to know p.s. take one poisonous shark that releases its urine into its system, then bury it for weeks to remove the toxins...slice and eat.....what do you think it would taste like....HONEY ?
-
Sorry. sold them at MD......

Had a nice relaxing day today.....here are pics of some of the Icelandic tradititional dishes we ate including the atlantic char we netted yesterday..........WARNING.....some of the pictures are not for the faint hearted so don't say I didn't warn you..........ps.. as far as the rotten shark.........notice the bottle of black death beside the shark..it is a must when eating the shark to kill the urine taste of it ............... :yikes: :yikes: notice the smile on the lambs head....ps happy birthday Jonas

Icelandic facts...if you want to see the president, you drive up to his front door and ring the bell...he will answer it......just like in the United States ..........horses aren't just for riding you know....yum yum.................................... MOST Icelandic people speak english, better than most Americans do............there is no admission charge to view all the wonderful parks and waterfalls here.... no hot dog or ice cream vendors or souvenir stands wanting to take your money either........................... Whaleing is a VITAL part of the Isandic culture and heritage......stop believing what you see on TV and learn the facts............................ It is legal to fish with nets while you nap... there are few traffic signals and stop signs here, just roundabouts......Icelandic people are the most respectful people toward their enviroment, we need to take a few lessons here my friends....need help or information....KNOCK ON A DOOR..YOU WILL NOT BE MET WITH A SHOTGUN TOTING GRANNY.........Iceladic people (except Jonas) are beautiful people......The police DO NOT CARRY GUNS and are considerate of foreigneers who are in dangerous places where they do not belong...DONT ASK ABOUT THIS ONE..... VERY VERY IMPORTANT.....DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING STARFANS TELLS YOU, YOU WILL MEET THE POLICE AND LEARN THE PREVIOUS FACT FIRST HAND.....:buttkick:Thought you may enjoy some of the things that I learned on summer vacation.................... :usa:
