In Fnjóskadalur

I was feeling a little bit better today and after a nice visit and a chat with my grandmother and aunt, my husband and I decided to drive to Fnjóskadalur.

We drove over the mountain Vaðlaheiði on the old gravel/dirt road and our destination was an old house called Skógar. For 40 years, or until 1972, there was a boarding school for children and a central phone office in this building.
During the summer the Uglan café (Owl Café) has been open in this old house. It's a lovely restaurant with nice atmosphere and history in every corner.

Today Þór Sigurðsson and Rósa María Stefánsdóttir entertained guests with stories and songs and one of my friends from the photography club, Hrefna Harðardóttir, has a great photo/art exhibition in one of the old classrooms. I enjoyed being there this afternoon and I highly recommend Uglan café after this first visit :)

But what about the challenge? Well, today's project is messy and all day the weather has been what I call messy weather or "subbuveður" in Icelandic. Everything is wet and dirty after being outside for a while.
The car was especially dirty after the drive on a dirt road in Vaðlaheiði! But we probably don't have to worry about that in 2014 when the tunnel through Vaðlaheiði will be opened ;)
