Back at Nobbelov church today for more pancakes, or "pannkaka" as they call them in Swedish. Not a pretty sight. Quality control was lacking today - see picture of burned pancakes below. Who would serve such a thing to a customer?? And mine weren't exactly kosher either. They were dry and crispy around the edges. I'm deprived of pancakes at home. Most go to the kids. So I suppose beggars can't be choosers, but this was a little over the top. I will try again tomorrow with my fingers crossed. For the record, the church volunteers are a friendly and hospitable bunch.
This amazing 7 year old Icelandic girl - the one on the right in the picture - who has befriended my 5 year old, can speak 3 languages fluently: Icelandic, Danish, and English. Her English is almost entirely self taught via YouTube. The first time I heard her speak, I thought she was at least half American. Her father told me she picked up Danish in a few weeks after she moved in with her mother to Denmark. Below is a drawing she made of her plans with my daughter today. Her father's fiance said she was excited to see Johanna and do all the things she'd mapped out below that morning. Simply amazing!
