Adventures in Iceland: Bittersweet farewell

I'll provide a more comprehensive overview of the poetry festival, as well as Iceland Airwaves (a 200+ band music festival that proved to be the most intense, amazing 4-day party I've never even imagined could exist), once I find spare moments. But as tonight marks my final few hours in Reykjavík, I thought it appropriate to bid my farewell by introducing the two Icelandic best friends who've kept me busy this week.

Hildur Lilliendahl and Haukur
Magnússon have shown me extraordinary kindness. Their depths, intelligence, and generosity kept me well fed, stimulated, hydrated, fascinated, relaxed, blissful... blissful... blissful.

Ég er mjög ánægð!!!
Ranka við sér Toronto, takk fyrir!

Hi Angela,

I envy you and Connor having another week in Iceland. A beautiful country, warm people, with the only downer the frightening prices on everything... I want to come back!
