It’s day five in Iceland and we spent the better part of the day in Dalvik (the main village of Dalvíkurbyggð) watching herding of horses.
This was an unexpected treat for us! We met the local fire chief Anton, who chatted with us about some of the popular past times in Iceland, and soon invited us to watch the event. Just over 100 horses return to their farmers as the winter season approaches.
Not only do the farmers come out, but it is a community event. Anton told us afterwards they come together to enjoy treats and a few laughs!
Oh, and I made a new friend. 🙂
Thanks to all for the hospitality today!
Looks like you had a great day.It’s nice to see how warmly you were welcomed. It looks like Scott made lots of friends, and I like the photo of your new friend. This must have been a very exciting event.
The locals in this particular area were really nice — glad we got some time to meet them 🙂
This looks like you had a very exciting day! Loved these photos! The horses are beautiful. What wonderfully friendly people they are to have made you feel so at home. The sweaters they wear are beautiful. Looking forward to reading about your adventure tomorrow. 🙂
