Christopher Moklebust I can only imagine that in some past life Hafdis Bjarnadottir would have been a part of some traveling caravan of gypsies journeying their way across the deserts of Egypt and through the land of Canaan - the kind deserving of a few pages within some Canterbury like tale - and somewhere along the way, through all their trials and tribulations, they ventured upon to Iceland.
