I'm home!

So! Four airports in equally as many days! But I am finally home with my family and dogs :) and of course friends and board-game nerdy friends!

My mobile was stolen/got lost somewhere between Selcuk in Turkey and Budapest but fortunately it was my old phone. I have got a new sim-card again, same number as before, so keep those calls coming in!

My brother Haukur is going away for a year in a few days, I shall therefore be busy doting on him. He's going to France as an exchange student with AFS. It's going to be hard to see him go, especially not have him here at christmas, but then again I am in no position to complain as I am also going away to California within a short period. But I will, however, be home for x-mas.

What great weather in this craggy-island!!! Darn! And everyone keeps saying (read: lying) that the weather has been FANTASTIC ever since I left, it only turned bad when I came home! Yeah, sure.

So, if anyone wishes to contact me and hear my pleasant voice and travel stories with detailed descriptions of toilets in many parts of the world!

Hmmmm... Mum just called me and showed me the bag of saffron that I brought over from Turkey. Amongst the threads of stamens are little, red beetles. Alive. Yummy. It certainly proves that there are no pesticides or anything else bad for you in the saffron. It is, however, not so appetizing. We have sealed the bag tight and are contemplating the next move. We may end up incinerating the whole thing if we are going to be sterile, paranoid westerners. No one knows how many bugs and worms we have eaten when eating figs, tomatoes, peaches and whatnot in Turkey!

Anyways, great to be back! See yous all soon!
