Amish in Borgarfjordur

I had a remarkable Saturday. After heavy partying on Friday night, Agnes woke me up for WORK. Her father was renewing the roof of their house. Everybody except me showed up at 0830 for a coffee and a chat before beginning to work. There were eight of us, friends and family. In ten hours we renewed the roof. A work that would have cost at least 5.000€ if outsourced. All this work done for free and no one asking for a favor instead. A true Amish ideology. I liked this, old-school ideology.
