The last weeks have been very busy in Iceland. It is a lot to do in school and next week is the last of teaching before the exams. The group has met twice a week the last two months and has been gathering information about all things icelandic in preparation for the visit in March. The days in Iceland are getting shorter, now we have daylight for only six hours. To lessen the effect of all the darkness Icelanders are very keen on decorating their houses early before christmas. In a weeks time the town will be an ocean of light to celebrate christmas and help people cope with the darkness. The shortest day of the year is December 21st and after that the day becomes a bit longer every day.
Today the group spent a few minutes in the library in the childrens corner for a foto oportunity. We wish our friends in Dębica all the best and we are looking forward meeting you in the new year (some of us are already counting the days ;-)
