I am sorry that I can not come this time to the Wosonos, I don't have
the budget right now. I have some items for the silent auction never
the less, but I will not send it.  If anyone traveling over the
Atlantic is stopping over in Iceland on the way (to take a bath in the
blue lagoon), then I would be happy to give these items to the bath
guests and drive them around seeing some sites.

With love from Iceland
Kári
