Presumably they've got the standard Mittens internet connection (none)...

[abstauber]

You think somebody downloaded Gabriel Knight again, which voided all remaining traffic?

Btw. some pics are currently on FB.

[horusr]

what facebook? Is there a secret group that you guys don't tell us?

[abstauber]

Dont worry, usually they upload a whole bunch of photos after Mittens is over.

But nope, there's no secret group that I am aware of

[horusr]

Oh, so you follow them in person? Because I checked facebok page twice, no pics

[abstauber]

Yes, at least Snarky and AGA.
But I hardly ever use FB anyway.

Get with the times, Mods! There's free international roaming these days. Half of Mittens has just been everybody sitting around looking at our phones.

I don't take many photos, but let me paint some word pictures:

-Most of us sitting in the hot tub on the deck while Custard flew a drone around filming from the sky
-Driving around the "Golden Circle", just to turn back at the very far point (and skipping the Thingvellir national park and historical site) because we had to get to a liquor store before they closed
-A day it rained so heavily that we just stayed inside playing and riffing on Contradiction, the FMV game ("Do you recognize... THIS? [makes devil horns]")
-So much licorice!
-Another drive to see several waterfalls that you could walk under/close to, none of which got us as soaked as the rain at a black sands beach famous for its killer (literally) waves
-Half of us "playing" Duolingo on our phones at the same time
-Trying to come up with things to do in Reykjavik, and ending up with: eating hot dogs, taking an elevator up the church-tower to look out (and discovering that the low clouds meant we couldn't see anything), and the Penis Museum

...and the Penis Museum

Now I'm jealous!

Sounds like a blast, though. I hope everybody is having a good time.

Wow, I've always wanted to visit Iceland. Sounds like you had a blast

[Tycho Magnetic Anomaly]

would you ever consider Hong Kong as a venue?
I don't live there, but would love to visit.


Very nice video , did one of you bring a drone with you to get the aerial footage?

[horusr]

That museum looks... interesting...

As I'm moving to Hong Kong, I fully support this suggestion!!

Yup, I had a drone. Here's a video from the village we were staying in :  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dmwx1WJpcAQ

Can you post the group photo, so I can add it to the wiki?

[Privateer Puddin']

Will do when I get home
