I am getting ready for this trip and got me a nice color box. With a set of cheap watercolor, and a nice set, some crayons, and a couple note books. I even found a copy of the classic Moleskins journals. It's going to be nice to sit back, relax, and paint sunsets:)... read more

Danish Koloni huset: Those houses were built in the 60th, for the workers, so they could grow some veggies as well as relax in a nice setting. The communist would say "it is a plot to keep the workers revolution down!!!!", but really i'd rather look at it as a nice way to let people have some outside private space for very cheap. Some of what used to be simple tool schacks have turned into complete and sometimes livable habitations. The setting of the gardens is amazing. spread through town, they give a feeling of peace and familly. The type of place that makes you forget where you are, you are here, and it's fine like that. As if those spaces suspend time, here you are, as if you have always been there. Those places that ... read more

Nyborg castle is located here in this 15000 inhabitants in central Denmark. I got used of the Scanrail pass to make a quick visit to this little small town. It is a quick train ride from Odense, you got to check the train timetable for the time and frequency of the trains stop at this small station. There is a busline to take you from the train station to town but I walk and enjoy the scene along the way. It is a delight small little town with moats, harbors, castle, and shops. The castle was built in the 11th century and have been rebuilt several times. The annual "Danehof" meeting took place here in Nyborg from 1354 to 1500s. Danehof was the event of the year in the old day where important individuals and politicians ... read more

Hello there family and friends...i think this is going to be my last blog before i leave copenhagen since i only have about a week and a half left. Craaazy. This last weekend I went to Western Denmark on another study tour, this time by bus only and no ferry ride. =( hehe. jk. It was great fun because I'm getting to know the people more and more since we were on the last trip together too. My birthday was on Friday, the day I left for the trip, so i celebrated Friday night with some people here. I wish I could have taken a picture of it, but my professor and the intern got me a cake...well two humongous Danish pastries that could feed at least 30 people decorated with lots of little Danish flags. ... read more

Day 15 This morning, we went to the rainforest bio domes in Aahus. Breanne wanted to take Jessie and Amanda and show them the animals. It was pretty cool. Each bio dome had different animals and birds. They just flew and ran around you. Most weren’t caged up. There were parrots and forest foul in the trees. They were just like our chickens but they hung out in the trees. Too funny. Little monkeys ran around and these little deer like things. Even the snakes were just hanging around without cages. It was humid in there but still a fun place to go. After than, we drove to a castle ruins out on the coast and fried ourselves in the sun to get a few pictures. It was funny because all these cows were making their ... read more

July 6th Day 14 - Aahus The weather here has been unseasonably warm, about 90 degrees so we decided to head to one of the many beaches for a few hours. The water was very warm as was the sun. We’re all coming home with a tan. Later in the evening, we were invited to a BBQ at Bre’s counselors home. We had a great meal and a great time. ... read more

Day 13 Breanne took us around to the sites in Aarhus. One was a Williamsburg-like part of Aahus they call old town (Den Gamly By). There were people dressed up like the people of the era. There were also children playing games and running around the town just like it was back then. Kinda cool. In the evening, the rotary had a special dinner for us and Breanne. When we got there, the custom is to take a beer opener that is on a special hanger on the wall. Each opener has number and you are to sit at the place that corresponds with the number. This way you usually sit by someone different at each meeting. The meal started with buttered rye bread that they passed around. Then the herring that you put on top ... read more

Day 12 - We didn’t really do anything when we got here but watch the Germany vs. Italy soccer game. We did have a reservation at a B&B that we found on the internet but it really was only a nicer hostel. We stayed one night and found other accommodations near by. ... read more
