Footpaths, Fibers, Fun…on the Sheep Islands—Foeroyar (Faroe Islands)
Sarah and Elizabeth Kendall recount and show highlights of their early spring 2019 adventure in the fresh, windy, and occasionally snowy island nation of the Faroes. Eighteen islands, joined by ferries and tunnels, inhabited by approximately 57,000 people and 80,000 sheep (in high season). Volcanic landscapes in the middle of the North Atlantic, surrounded by the Gulf Stream at 62 degrees N, between Scotland and Iceland — full of birds, waterfalls, farms, fjords growing salmon, viking and medieval ruins, and the world’s oldest parliament. Wandering revealed surprises such as knitting supplies at the grocery store, picturesque villages, three languages, chain dancing, and a range of architecture and 20th century art.
