Experiences of a Jewish family living first in Isafjordur and then in Skagastrond, Iceland. In September 2008, my husband,our 7 month old daughter, Zelia, and I came to Isafjordur. Jumping in with both feet, we have discovered not only a beautiful, but warm and welcoming place. Now an employee of the Marine Research Institute studying seals and lumpfish, we are thrilled to be back in Iceland! This time we brought our dog Jack and in August we welcomed Lazer into our lives.

A Wild Meal
On Saturday morning Jacob woke early to go fishing, an oh no, it wasn´t in the ocean., he has actually been turned on to fresh water fishing these days and we are OH so thankful. He came home with 4 beautiful char and a sea trout.
After breakfast we hopped in the car and drove to Engidalur where we had found beautiful berries earlier in the week and we filled a big pitcher while Zelia sat in the bushes quietly eating and turning blue.
After a nap we headed out with Gisli and Gerður to look for mushrooms. I found my first and learned how to pick them. Zelia was more interested in berries of course and after putting all the mushrooms together we had a fare amount. We headed home and Jacob began to prepare a feast and of course Gisli, Gerður and Tómas joined. What a beautiful thing - to eat almost exclusively of food we had collected.
