Day 34: Going to Thingeyri

I slept in today and ate a late breakfast before we headed out around 1 pm to go to Thingeyri, another small "town" in the Westfjords. When we arrived a local man met us and gave us a tour of the countryside, sharing with us more details from the Gislasaga (the saga we had learned about the other day) and telling us about the landscape and where certain parts of the saga had occurred.

A cool old building


Upon finishing our little hike we went to the town's local theater to see a one man performance of the Gislasaga. A lone actor puts on shows of the Gislasaga acting out the whole story with only a few props.

The show was like nothing I've ever seen. The actor was so high energy and ran around the stage switching characters, changing voices, and acting rather crazy. Overall it was quite enjoyable, but it was a rather tiring experience.

We then headed home for the evening and hung around the house until dinner time. Caitlin had picked up some frozen pizzas from Bonus, so we ate those while we watched the World Cup final between Spain and the Netherlands.

Now I'm going to work on my project since it's due Wednesday and I still have so much left to do. Tomorrow we have to submit our poster which is going to used to supplement our paper for our presentation.
Bless bless!
