Iceland in the news

Iceland is on the front page of every newspaper in the world, not for the economy but for our nature. Airports across Europe have been shut down because of the ash that came from our volcano at Eyjafjallajökull.

I get that people are annoyed at this. We want to get places and we´re not used to wait. Unfortunately nature has other plans.... 

Nature has a mind of its own. Nature doesn´t care about flight schedules and lost money.

I think people should just enjoy the time they´re stuck somewhere instead of complaining. There´s nothing they can do so why not enjoy it.

Better yet, people should be grateful that airlines are waiting it out instead of flying anyway and end up killing people...and for what. This is a security issue. 

A lot of people have asked me if my family is ok, which i find so nice. My family is fine, Eyjafjallajökull is in the south of the country while Reykjavik is southwest so it´s far away.

But for those people stuck, let´s hope airports open soon.

Until then, enjoy the time and this scene from The Daily Show....
