So this is Jon Hestoy, president of the Faroese Swimming Association, taking a group photo of us all (minus him) just before our foreign friends boarded the busses to the airport (yes, I’m an ass showing you this photo instead of his :-). That rock behind him is Faroese artist Tróndur Patursson’s sculpture “Stone with seven hinges“, exemplifying the primal forces in nature and in the Nordic countries when working together. Those grill things are the new lighting around our national soccer field, so tall that they unfortunately seem to creep into every outdoor picture in our capitol these days.

Just a teaser … they had set up a real soap box speaker’s corner at Hotel Føroyar yesterday evening, as part of the 11th Nordic Conference in Elementary Swimming Teaching. And we actually had 4 people stand up on the box and speak, on tape and in my possession ;-)

A nice touch up at Hotel Føroyar, where most of our foreign guests stay during the 11th Nordic Conference in Elementary Swimming Teaching this weekend.
