Day 15: May 24: Solheimar tour


We toured the Ecovillage today. We happened upon their visitors center and met a guide Axle.  He was quite snarky and referrenced doughnuts,  shotguns,  and Walmart frequently.  We visited their woodworking shop, candle marking station, and gym.
In the gym we discovered the plausible Icelandic inspiration for Forrest Gump,  Reynir Pétur Ingvarsson. He was evidently  responsible for demonstrating that disabled people are capable beings. He ran 1417km,  circumnavigating Iceland in 1985. He began his trek on May 25. He now lives in Sólheimar.

After the gym  we found their greenhouses then explored their church.
