What a superb trip. First of all, the travel could not have gone more smoothly. This was a big deal to us because all of our “mama’s and papa’s” doubted we would even make it to the airport in time to catch our plane. Well, we navigated our way through the train system and ended in Arhus, Denmark. Arhus is a little college town on the Norwegian Sea. We arrived at night, so everything was shut down, but we couldn’t wait to see the city in the light—it was adorable.
Friday morning and afternoon, our group split up and Lindsay and I took the scenic path through the city: looking into shops, buying fresh bread, spending way too much money (Linds), scoping out good pizza places etc. We kept commenting to eachother, “How many H&M’s do they have?” or “this all looks so familiar”… It was because it was all familiar and after the third loop around, I realized that they don’t have parallel streets and that we were going in circles the entire day. Oops. Needless to say, if anyone needs a tour of Arhus, Lindsay and I know the city (well part of it) quite well.
For dinner (and lunch again on Saturday) we stopped at a pizza joint. We were thrilled because the pizza was super cheap AND they had ranch dressing (something you don’t see in Spain); we were ecstatic! In Arhus as well, they had at least five 711’s with the slushy machine. One more culture difference we noticed going from Spain to Denmark was that first, they had tall people, and second, all the people were gorgeous. There we sat, 6 Americans, warming up in the middle of the mall, bundled in scarves and mittens and hoodies, surrounded by our packs, while all around us the “fashionable” Danes walked casually in their well planned get up for the day. It was a sight to be seen.
We made it back to Denia at about 2am.
There has been a slight change in the weather—a bit rainy and chilly—but, I won’t start complaining because I know what you are all going through in Michigan! Today I am free from class, but have plans to go to the bakery and do my homework that I have been putting off for some time now. Love you all and miss you as well.
The Pizza was huge and they had RANCH!!

These strollers were all around. My mom used to push us around with a stroller like this, so I was super excited!
