Dampening affect

The summer time here in Iceland is of course wonderful. But on the other hand, everyone is always on summerfrí, no one is really home. Even things like Menningarnótt, many people who live in Reykjavík just are not home to enjoy it. Summer is in some ways the time of tourists, and it has almost a dampening affect on Icelanders.

I never noticed that in California. In California, we were the ones at the beach early in the morning, we were the ones riding the surfboards, taking bikerides through the woods. In California, one never felt the need to suppress one's enthusiasm for life when a bunch of strangers were around.

Ég hef ekki hugsað þetta svona, en kannski er þetta rétt hjá þér. Ég og maðurinn minn erum mjög oft eina heimafólkið (og einu Íslendingarnir) í fjörunni hérna í Vík.
