Spent my last full day in Shetland meeting up with new friends from Minnesota. We spent a good chunk of time at the #shetlandwoolweek2019 Makers' Market, where many locals were selling handmade goods and yarn. Check my Stories for more from the Market. We had a lovely lunch @thedowryshetland, walked around Commercial Street, and ended up back at the SWW Hub for tea and knitting. Sad to be leaving, but also excited to be heading home. I've got a full day and a half of travel that starts tomorrow, so the adventure is not quite over yet! 🧶✈️🌎 . . . #actionheroshetlandislands #shetlandwoolweek #shetlandislands #vscocam (at Shetland Islands) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3P487HBjSs/?igshid=1tzqt5v0s280n

It was great fun today to tour the isle of Bressay with native Shetlander Douglas Courts. We stopped by his croft to see his sheep and ponies, saw amazing views of Noss Sound and Nature Preserve, stopped at the Bressay Lighthouse, and ended the afternoon with soup and cake, again at the lovely Speldiburn Cafe. . . . #actionheroshetlandislands #shetlandwoolweek2019 #shetlandwoolweek #shetlandislands #vscocam (at Bressay) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3NIc70B8AY/?igshid=1qyd74f7cnxif

I had a later start for Thursday's #shetlandwoolweek2019. I attended a lunchtime talk about the Shetland dialect, but was excited for my evening: a Lerwick walking tour that ended with a taste of Shetland dinner. We mainly walked in the older neighborhood of Lerwick. We saw the oldest house, learned about the Fire Festival, walked by several churches, Town Hall, the library, and Fort Charlotte. The night ended with a fantastic dinner @peerieshopcafe. Thanks to Paula, our tour guide! . . . #actionheroshetlandislands #vscocam #shetlandwoolweek #shetlandislands (at Lerwick) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3LDKLcBBM-/?igshid=gykigexrkry3
