I arrived in Isafjordur, Iceland, on June 26, and spent most of my nine weeks’ stay with a family of five. I soon discovered that the family was very closely knit and enjoyed doing things together.

Communications didn’t present any great problem because a great man) Icelanders speak English. A few times, however, I was forced to resort to a combination of Icelandic, English, and sign language. The food, although basically fish and lamb, was excellent. I tasted such exotic dishes as blood pudding, shyr, buried shark meat and whale meat, none of which I liked incidentally. I gained a great deal from my experience. I found myself able to understand other viewpoints, not just the one I had been brought up with. I am grateful to the people of Iceland, and hope I gave them as much as they gave me. Ma pu avallt vera eins asell,
