A furniture store for supper?

Our first class with the Icelandic friends went well. Jimmie gave the next point in his 8 point lesson and the next hour Linda taught on the ideal woman separately to the ladies. There is still a little language problem with Gyða and we encouraged her greatly to stop us in class and let us know. Linda did very well and gave many handouts which the ladies seemed grateful to have. Tonight on my lesson, I plan to go slowly and ask often if I am being understood. That is why we are here. Afterwards we went to the Ikea store for supper. In Atlanta there is an Ikea store that sells Scandinavian furniture but the store here also has a cafeteria. Marias said one can eat cheaply and he was right. William had pasta and I chose swedish meatballs. Our new friends helped us navigate the choices. I would like to go back and try something else another day. When I return home I will find out if the store in Atlanta does the same. It seemed strange at first, but I suppose it is no different than eating in the food court at the mall.
Our room at the B&B is above a fish market. We have to be careful of opening the window for fresh air because the air is not always so fresh. I am not complaining but it is one of the funny things you do not expect. Even though it is cold outside, the rooms are kept almost too warm and we crack the window to breath easier.
I am very spoiled with brewed coffee each morning. In Australia, instant coffee was the norm but here we have what I like. I am very grateful and happy. Love to all- Katrece
