One quick post before I head off to... ITaly!! (First you should know that I booked all these trips my first month out here so I wasn't thinking too much about how much time I would have in between. But also these trip blogs take forever to post, so I didn't just get home from Austria, it was about 3 weeks ago:)
Two weekends ago I meet my friend Basia from work. We went sightseeing to Fredensborg Palace after I showed up an hour late to the mass she invited me too. Guess I didn't get the memo (or danish news broadcasts or computer updates or even glance at a clock) to find out it was the end of daylight savings time. We sprung forward and I stayed back. Anyhow, after that we took a trip out to the countryside to do some sightseeing. This is Barbara in front of the palace that the Crown Prince and his family actually live in:
There are gardens all around and the park sits next to the largest lake in Denmark so it was really nice to just walk around. We went back to her house afterward and cooked up a great meal!
Obviously I know how to cook if I am wearing such a cool getup! Its all about the look. No pictures of the dinner but here is the yummy pastry apple we made for dessert:
This past week at work we had a fuseball tournament. On the last day before vacation we all gathered for the final four of SBi fuseballing. They served beer and snacks and we all teamed up to cheer for our department. Unfortunately, the construction and health professionals were not up to par with the rest of the building groups. We think it is because all of the winning teams had students on them, and I, being the only student in my department, was not nearly as experienced. Anyhow this is the championship game.. played by one danish Stephanie Brown and her colleagues. (She sort of reminds me of her, doesn't she?!)
Afterward Barbara handed me some pom-poms and said, "You are American, you know how to cheer." What is that supposed to mean? I broke out into perfect form.
At least I made her try!
One other group of photos I had on my camera were from a run I took sometime last week. This was when I left with my camera to see how running with it would be. It will be my last time taking my camera out for jogs with me!
The path through Christiana
Have a Happy and Safe Easter everyone!! Let's keep the friends, families and victims of the Italian earthquake devastation in our prayers
