Day 2: Tuesday 8th June

Weather: rain in the morning, cleared out by noon, sunshine in the evening

Walked: 6.5 km

Had a lovely day with lectures in both Faroese literature (in the morning) and Faroese names (in the afternoon). Luckily the university lecture halls are close to home, which makes it easy to go home home for lunch.

After the lectures I had a quick nap but awoke to the sun peeling through the window panels: the sun was shining beautifully and this was an opportunity not to be missed! Took our my camera and headed downtown via the Old Fort.

In the harbor I sat outside for a couple of hours reading my Faroese novel (for the course, a pocketbook in Danish). Had a cup of not-so-good-regular- coffee. When I looked up, the clouds seemed to avoid the harbor and somehow stayed close to the hills surrounding Tórshavn. Also, I have never seen clouds moving so fast! Like in a movie, just before storm breaks. I can easily imagine how fast a storm can move in...

After coffee we had a group meeting at Hvonn , the restaurant we ate the day before. Had a glass of red wine. The restaurant was packed! I don't couldn't tell if it was because of the lovely weather or what.

Thought I was tired, but when I got home I decided to go out for some more photography. It was still very light at 23 o'clock, but the sun had set behind the hills, so it really didn't make any cool shadows. Came home and quickly jumped into bed.
