Perhaps the greatest fairy tale...
Wow, what a couple of days. Let me recap. Friday night was spent walking around the city with Tami & Walter. We bought some beers and sat on Nyhavn (the famous street with the painted buildings). It was a fabulous evening and the view from the pier was amazing-- including a stunning view of the Opera House.
Saturday morning I went with the family to Pernille's work. I'm not sure exactly how you would describe this place, it isn't exactly a park, but isn't a farm. Maybe the best way to describe it is a 4H project? In any regard, I met the horse, cow, sheep, goat, guinea pig, and cat. I've posted pictures -- be sure to check them out.
Later that afternoon I meet up with Tami & Walter again and we went to Klampenborg. It is a royal park with an amusement park as well as a deer park (Dyrehaven). It was a great time had by all. The park is actually quite large, and we ended up seeing quite a few deer, but not nearly the 2000 deer that are suppose to be there.
Sunday was Tivoli (http://www.tivoli.dk/composite-3351.htm)! The entire family went (Ann, Pernille, Katrine and myself) and we meet my host grandmother there. This place is amazing! It is considered to be the oldest amusement park in the world. We rode pretty much every ride there. It was a really great experience to have with my host family. They are so proud of Tivoli, and have so many memories throughout their childhood from Tivoli. They were so excited to show me the whole place, which they know like the back of their hand. We went home and ordered a pizza. We all ate so much food! All of us were about to fall asleep at the table!
I ended up falling asleep without doing anything else for the rest of the night. I am still exhausted today-- and have so much homework to do (plus an exam tomorrow). On a really sad note, my camera is broken. This gets me deep. Urgg. However, my repaired iPod should have been delivered this morning.
And my pants don't fit. Since I walk AT LEAST 40 minutes a day, eat 3 HEALTHY meals a day -- I have lost so much weight that I need a new belt, and soon new pants.
But.... I got a letter from Lauren this morning, and this makes my day :)
Be sure to check out the new pictures, and hopefully I can get the camera situation worked out so there will be more pictures.
And remember...
Perhaps the greatest fairy tale of all, is life itself.
