Greetings all!
I am trying to be diligent about posting every day but today is going to be the weak link as far as my posts are concerned. I woke up late, went to class on time, heard amazing talks that ranged from food safety to women's health in Nepal to weapon's of mass destruction. It was a very interesting and incredibly educational day - I took 26 8.5x11 pages of notes today, all of which I will attempt to summarize here but not tonight. I had a bit of a hotel debacle and had to change my plans last minute and then went out with my friends here for dinner and then a drink after. I met a couple of Icelandics who had studied at the University of Minnesota coincidentally and had a great chat with them learning much about Iceland, politics, gender equality, housing and credit loans and the state of their currency. (I know - what a kill-joy I can be in a bar!! :^) But it was a lively discussion and I learned quite a bit. Including the fact that the currency has depreciated 30% in the past three months so actually we are getting a bargain here! WHO KNEW!! Well that is all for my little post for now. I will add a link to my fabulous new hotel and then I am calling it a night. Best wishes to all.
