Thomas spent the spring semester in the Faroe Islands this year. He took biology at the university there and had a great time. During the 5 months there he lived with Lis and her family. He became especially good friends with their dog, Mikki. I'm just putting out loads of pictures this time, the captions will tell the story of the week Knut, Arnalug and I spent in the Faroes, meeting old friends, being turists and finally bringing Thomas back to Norway.
Here's a load of pictures, not exactly in any order. :)
There's not a lot of crime here. This is the key to the basement apartment where we stayed. Lis' mom used to live here. She moved into a care center just weeks before we arrived.
It was a very windy day when we went out to Kalsoy.
Rock and roll!

A glass artist lives in Kirkjubøur. It shows.
Can't remember the name of this guy, or the village where it was taken. Lis will have to help me...

Looking out over ...
Gjógv
The views are amazing
There are some people who have too much time on their hands.
In Gjógv, it's not as small as the TV show wanted us to believe.
Mikki - the best dog I have ever met. Ever.
