Yesterday I was going for a evening meal when I met an artist instead and was invited to a studio where I met more artists and saw some work. Most of the artists were working with video and I also got taped my self.
We had a long and interesting discussion about all things and nothing. Finally I got to eat both a Icelandic hot dog at Bill Clintons favorite Icelandic hot dog stand and there after a pizza slice.
I got offered to see some nature and have a car trip the next day which I gladly accepted.
We set out to Thingvalla-vatn, a lake so cold that people usually do not take swims in it even during summer. On the way we also saw the house and pool of the Icelandic Nobel prize winner Halldór Kiljan Laxness. I did not know much about him before and now I know little more than he getting the prize in 1955 and remaining active until the late 80-ties. Unusual for a Noble-prize winner.
The trip was very nice although we made it on almost slick front tiers: during rain, hail and wet snow… but it all went very smooth with careful driving from my latest Icelandic friend. A good outing all in all.
