He did an excellent job (and I’m not only saying that because I was the chair for his session)! Gave me lots to think about on ethnonyms!

Second Saga Con in the books! Had a wonderful week in Katowice and Krakow 🇵🇱! Thanks to the committee and all their assistants for facilitating a collegial atmosphere! It was great to reconnect with friends from all over the world and meet many new scholars who share the same passion for ON lit!

This Arlanda example is a commemoration of one of the many lost on the infamous Ingvar expedition to 'the east' (probably the Caspian Sea) in c. 1041-2.

Quick layover in Mannheim in route to Düsseldorf. Checked out the Wasserturm and Kunsthalle Mannheim before my next bus(which of course was delayed and I could have spent more time in the museum)! Really enjoyed viewing the works of Tavares Strachen and seeing some photos of Marlene Dietrich!
