We still have many visiting Snorrastofa / Reykholt, though it is already October. On the 30th September was the last group from Swedish "Christers Resor", this visit marks the beginning of winter for us, because now we have to wait until the beginning of May 2015 until they will visit us again :)
Thursday a young German couple visited Snorrastofa, the young girl played this wonderful piece on our piano, a peaceful afternoon.
Today, Saturday 04.10.14, we had the women's choir from Oslo Norway "Villfuglene" visiting. They gave a concert, got a lecture about Snorri Sturluson and Reykholt, and afterwards the shopped in our beautiful gifts shop, just like there was no tomorrow :)
With the "Villfuglene" was Valgerður Pálsdóttir manager and owner of Icelandic travel agency Art Travel ehf. (They specialize in culture and saga tourism)
My name is Sigrun Guttormsdóttir Þormar. I live inBorgarfjord west Iceland, where I work as a project leader at the cultural medieval center Snorrastofa in Reykholt. For those that don't know, Reykholt was the home of Snorri Sturluson, medieval writer and poet whom lived in Reykholt from 1206 to 1241. He was the author of the Edda, Heimskringla (History of the kings of Norway) and Egils Saga Skallagrimsson. For me Snorri is the most amazing employer whom I proudly serve and constantly present in my every day life! He is absolutely still going strong at 835 years of age. Please come and visit us at www.snorrastofa.is. We are open all weekdays during the winter and all days during summer. We have an exhibition about Snorri Sturluson and offer lectures for groups. Hope to see you soon :)
