Akranes and a visit to Heaven

Yesterday was a great day :-) I went to Akranes with my sisters Steingerður and Helen, and Gurrí, Steingerður's co-worker and my blogfriend :-) Poor Gurrí was picked up by Helen that had too low blood sugar (she is diabetic) and was not really making any sense, laughing like a maniac. Gurrí just thougt she was funny ! Well, they sorted all that out and they picked me up at work. We drove to Kjalarnes because we wanted to stop at a shop operated by a brazilian woman in her home in Grundarhverfi. Oh, what a wonderful place ! She had gorgeous earrings, bath bombs, bath oils, massage oils, semi-precious stones, candles etc. ! We all went wild in there and all bought ourselfs a lot of stuff :-) I bought some nice earrings, a bathbomb and a turtle pedant. We are definately going there again :-) After tearing us with difficulty from that great place we drove to Akranes for some coffee at Gurrí's place. Unfortunately she lives on the forth floor, but it was worth it after I managed to climb up the stairs. The apartement, that she calls her heaven, was so great. She has a wonderful view of the ocean, the beach Langisandur and in the distance Reykjavík and the Reykjanes peninsula. And she has two very cuddly cats :-) One the size of a small tiger ! Cuddle cuddle cuddle :-) After a cozy time with good coffee we made a brief stop at a market set up because of the Irish days festival. Unfortunatly they were closing up, so we said goodbye to Gurrí and headed back home. But we'll be back later, Gurrí has promised to be our guide to the town's stone collection and more fun activities. I look forward to that :-) Me and Helen rounded up a wonderful day by getting invited to dinner at Steingerður's place. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, that woman can cook (contended sigh). Thanks for a great day girls !
