At our most recent meeting, we had a guest visit and speak to us about Iceland. Her name was Sara Sigurdardottir
and she came from a group of Icelanders based in Atlanta. She told us
about her life, growing up in Iceland (and everywhere else she lived as
well), and a lot about Icelandic culture! One thing I found really
interesting is that in Iceland, parents have to choose from an approved
list of baby names for their children, because not all names fit in with
Icelandic grammar. She also talked a lot about swimming in Iceland,
which is a big thing even in the cold weather! Apparently the pools are
steaming hot and many people end up going out for ice cream after a swim
in the below freezing weather! We all really enjoyed
having her there, and we hope that she also enjoyed attending the
meeting. She's
definitely an important contact now, and she said she would continue to
help anywhere we need it! Thanks Sara!
