“Borgarfjörður eystri is a fjord in east Iceland. It is part of the municipality of Borgarfjarðarhreppur and, as of 2011, the area has a population of around 100 inhabitants. The main settlement is Bakkagerði. The town derives its name from the Álfaborg. Wikipedia”

This turf house was in a small town in Iceland and is currently being used for art children’s art classes and workshops. Our guide was from this town, and spoke idiomatic English very well. She was able to take us on a very informative tour of the village, and we ate lunch in a small restaurant there—mushroom soup and fish!
