Leaving the Faroe Islands
 Photo Album: Getting Ready to Leave |
Tomorrow morning, in fact very early tomorrow morning, I will be leaving the Faroe Islands, after living here for more than thirteen months. I hope you have enjoyed the view from my window.
The past few weeks have been very busy, and even though I carried my camera with me everywhere I went, I usually forgot to take any pictures. Here are just a few photos showing what I have been doing.
The book of paintings by Heðin Kambsdal is nearly complete and should be available in print within a couple of months or so. I am planning to give the book as Christmas gifts to everyone I know, and you are welcome to do the same. It is called Mótljós, Into the Light, and the text is in Faroese and English. (I wrote the English.)
This week we had two performances of Candles in the Window at the Culture House in Fuglafjørður. This is a two person play based on the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Kathleen and I are going to England tomorrow, and we will have two performances of the play this week at a drama festival in Leeds, England.
On Friday, I finished boxing up most of my belongings, and shipped three more boxes to the USA. I sure hope that everything else will fit in my suitcases. You are getting one last message before I pack my computer.
On Thursday, after our performances in England, I will finally be returning to my home in Richmond, California (USA), very near San Francisco. I wonder how long it will take for me to get used to the change. At least there are a couple of things that will be the same - my house in America is also near the bay and we often have dense fog there in the summer. You can look for pictures from California, after I get home.

I’ve been fearing this moment for months. How I hate to lose your wonderful photos from the Faroes and the frequent updates about what was going on there. Thank you so much for all you’ve done over the past year with this weblog, and have a safe journey home!

I’ve enjoyed reading the blog. Thanks.
It’s been a valuable and interesting insight into the FI giving me an idea of life there and how it looks.
I hope to visit there some time - I’m crossing my fingures that Wales, or my home team Aberystwyth, get drawn against the FI in a European football match (that’s be a good excuse to go).
