Dinner invitation

The first day I started to work at Hereford, þórkatla was there and introduced me to everyone and everything! She gave me an extremely warm welcome there and we always have so much fun working together! Unfortunately she is leaving to Amsterdam to join her boyfriend there and study. I will really miss her! We've spent quite some time together lately in the streets and restaurants :o) of Reykjavik. The photo shows þórkatla (very Icelandic name: þór, nordic god and katla, volcano in Iceland) and her younger sister Vala.
Yesterday Gunni organized a staff party for þórkatla, a fare-well party as she has been an important longtime staffmember at Hereford. Before we went into Kaffi Vín I was invited to her home to meet her family and to have a good dinner. Her mother wanted to do Puffins for me (a speciality from the Vestmannaeyjar). As the last season was so bad the bird could not be found so we had wonderful Lasagne instead. I met her younger sister Vala, Vala's boyfriend Halli .
Inge, a friend of þórkatla is studying art. þórkatlas mother was extremely nice. I already got further invitations to traditional Icelandic food. Icelanders are so hospitable. It was a great evening!
