Comments for Jennifer in the Faroe Islands http://jenniferhenke.com For the past several years I have spent part of each year living in the Faroe Islands. In 2005-6 I lived for 14 months in Fuglafjørður, my father’s home town. The Faroe Islands are 18 small islands in the North Atlantic, north of the British Isles, a semi-independent territory of Denmark, with their own language (Faroese), their own flag, and limited self-rule. It is a small country (49,000 people) and very remote, but a completely modern, industrialized Scandinavian country. (More about the Faroe Islands) “The Missing Son – A Faroe Island Saga,” published in June 2010, recounts my experiences finding my father’s family in the Faroe Islands, and includes letters from his family from 1917-24. The book is available from the publisher at www.createspace.com/3429237 and also from www.amazon.com.

I just happened upon this island chain an fell in love. Maybe someday I can retire to a place like this.

Anyway, great photos :) Glad I found this blog.
