Some Pictures!

So, I realized that while I have done pretty well at updating my blog with some lovely words and paragraphs every so often, I have been kind of lacking in the photography arena. So here are some of pictures from my first three weeks in Denmark!

My lovely house on Amager, where I live with my host family. Tom, Anette, Fredrick, and Idda Hansen. Oh and their cat, Max.

Copenhagen, before all the rivers and lakes froze. Every street here is so beautiful and unique. Colors, bricks, cobblestones. Oh and there is quite the population of swans that hang out in the city.

I quickly discovered the store Tiger. It is one of the cheaper convenience stores in Copenhagen (although certainly not cheap). They have quite the selection of mustache merchandise, amongst other wonderful trinkets.

The Danes really like their bicycles. Whatever the weather.

My family showed me around some of the smaller cities on Amager, I found some bicycles there as well.

Oh, and they have bicycles in Elsinore as well. Also, it amazes me how many plants are alive. Everywhere I have gone in Denmark there are these little plants hanging on for dear life in frigid temperatures.

Pigeons! Another one of Copenhagen's finest residents.

This last weekend, we went on a study tour to Odense, Egmont, and Vejle. This is my whole core class at the Egmont Højskole. Hurray for Child Diversity and Development with an emphasis in special needs!

The Højskole was beautiful!

In Vejle, we had an hour or so to get some lunch, and a few of us found this cafe called Sandwich 'n Coffee. It had the best sandwiches any of us ever had. It was seriously delicious!

Looking out over Odense.

In Odense, we visited the Museum of Modern Art. They had a floor dedicated to sensory exploration. One of the rooms was covered in sweaters, with light fixtures and these lighted tubes. It was so great! The rest of the museum was pretty neat too.

Odense is where Hans Christian Anderson was born, so of course while we were there we ate at a restaurant called The Ugly Duckling.

Overall, these past three weeks have been an amazing adventure! I am so excited for the next months ahead.
