Read More...We were met by the exchange partner at the airport and taken to their home. The next day their son and family invited us for a delicious dinner. Our exchange couple gave us a tour of the local area, some of the most important tourist sites and even took us to the island that had puffins (in which we had expressed an interest). They left us a very safe and comfortable automatic automobile to use. It was great to drive it around the "Ring Road". On our arrival home they left us a very gracious and thoughtful gift.
