This is Hrefra, my Icelandic teacher. She gave me a farewell hug.Hrefna, incidentally, means 'whale' in Icelandic.
This is Wilhelmus, a Lituanian handball player. He is in Akureyri for handball and to live with his girlfriend, who is an Icelander.I would say Wilhelmus is about six-foot-five.
At the computer are Iris and Ryan Patrick.Iris is from Holland, while Ryan is from Virginia. Ryan started his own computer company here--he basically hooks up wireless networks for hotels.
Incidentally, I made Iris cry on Monday. She wouldn't shut-up about Jehovah's Witnesses. On an on. Apparently, her boyfriend's family are of that particular religious pursuit. Finally, after hearing about them for the umpteenth time, I said "Let's focus on learning Icelandic, for Christsakes".
Cue the waterworks.
