Last Post

The trip was a good one. But, it ended in sorrow. Today was the saddest and wierdest day of my life. The earthquake in Haiti killed many. This morning I woke up and went up stairs. My Dad brought me over to the couch and had me sit down. He told me that our friend Ben Larson possibly died in Haiti.
The picture is of our friend Ben. He was a dearly loved Wartburg student. His wife and cousin where in Haiti on jterm. Their names are Renee and Jon Larson.
Tonight we where walking home and it rained when we where in the Faroes. It all became ICE. We where walking home and Dad slipped on the ice. When we got back David Murphy checked Dad's arm. Then Dad and Àsi drove to the hospital. Dad broke his arm. He is fine.
This trip has been a good one but the last few days have been very sad for Wartburg and many others. So farewell readers. Hope you liked the blog. Didn't want to end it like this but GOODBYE!

Bye Bye Faroe Islands



Today we left the Faroes. Before we left we went to a bookstore. I got Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (in Faroese). Then we went driving around. The picture is of two of the islands.









The next picture is of some
Faroese sheep.

Foooddd......


Last night we ate whale blubber on dried fish and dried aged lamb leg - skerpikjøt. I didn't like the lamb. But, the whale blubber was really good. The picture is of the food we ate last night.
After we ate we played a game of Bohnanza (a german game). Your a been farmer and trade for beans and plant and harvest them for money. That game lasted till 1:00.

The Faroes DAY 2




Today we went to a farm in the Faroes. It had the oldest building in the Faroes also. We saw a church and a really old house. Heard a lot of stories and stepped over goose poop. After that we went to the harbor and had lunch. When we where done we walked around. The first picture is of 3PO in front of a very old door - just about 800 years old.










The second picture is of 3PO on top of whale a vertabrae.







The third picture is of two of the islands .

The Faroe Islands!



We are now in the Faroes. Poul made us fish soup, I think. When we flew into the Faroes the plain droped down a bit, that's what it felt like. After we where on the runway for a few seconds the plane stopped within 2 seconds. I hit the seet in front of me, it didn't hurt. The first picture is of one of the islands.




The second picture is of 3PO and the bell in a Luthren church in the Faroes.
