Radisson Sas H.C. Andersen Hotel Odense

... my group had made since the beginning of the tour.

We also had did something else to celebrate our Cast B 2009 boys :) Laura Lynn, our fearless music coordinator, made a video of famous fight scenes for our guys.

Of course the video started off with the "Jack, I'm flying!" scene from Titanic; just to get the boys a little worried about what the video ...

... great Danish sweets, and I bought my wonderful sister her Christmas present (or at least part of it!). See Alyson? I didn't forget about you! :)

After regional learning, we returned to our show facility and rehearsed for our Friends and Family show. We had over 300 people in attendance including many alumni! And our lone Danish student, Katrine, attracted quite a crowd as well! :)

The show was absolutely hilarious. For us anyway. It started off ...

... our travel day to Odense, Denmark. And us girls, we were all about MAD.

No, we weren't emotionally mad. And some of us might be a little mentally mad after traveling with the same people for almost 6 months (just kidding!). No, we were all about MAD.

Male Appreciation Day!

Yes, that's right! Today was Male Appreciation Day, a day in which we show our Cast B 2009 guys how much we love them!

Only 30 minute trip from Copenhagen. Nice little place to spend the night. Did alot more than I expected. Saw the museum on H.C Anderson, which had his original manuscripts. A very interesting man and very ugly- that is what inspired him to write the Ugly Duckling. Saw Sankt Knuds Kirke which is a ...

OK so there's only 8.3 Danish krone to the pound & and we had 3 kids so we always new Denmark was going to be punishingly expensive. However it was worth going, most museums have either cheap entry or low price for kids. Just returned from the Viking open air village in Ribe (Jutland) & the buried ship museum at Ladby in Funen (Fyn). Also the viking ship museum in Roskilde (Sealand).All places were very ...

... fun day and hated to say good-bye to the Kristensen’s. They were so kind to entertain us for 3 days and we were so glad to get to know them!

We took a day trip to Faborg where the Svannige Natural Park is located just outside the city. The boys had fun on the playground made completely of items from nature. We went on a hike and the boys tried to catch some butterflies and fish in their new nets. Faborg ...

...to Denmark.
The original plan was to drive all the way to Copenhagen and stay on a campsite there. But since it rained and rained and rained, we decided to stop earlier and have a good rest before heading to Copenhagen and meeting up with Laurents & Iris at the airport there. We were lucky and found a really nice campsite right at the beach with a view of the Storebaelt Bridge :-)

... variety of amenities including breakfast and TV and to be honest, the bathroom was way nicer than the one at my Kollegium.  My three roommates, Lisa, Mackenzie, and Emily were great and I'm so glad that I got to know them better during this trip!  We settled into the hostel and then set out for a walking tour around the city.  The architecture was so cute and it was a quaint, old European town that would be perfect to retire in.  They are definitely very proud of their history and ties ...

... ppens if they get sick. I know, if I lived here I would find grumbling people *nyw*y. Like Peder who would like to live in the US bec*use of the money he thinks he could m*ke there. I think it *ll depends on one's mind *nd *ttitude. For ex*mple, I don't feel I h*ve *ny single re*son to compl*in *bout my life in Cro*ti* *s it re*lly is * good life. And yet m*ny people grumble there, *s well. But I liked it in Denm*rk. I suppose my ment*lity is such th*t I could feel *t home there re*lly soon ...

June 27, 2007 The final chapter.

We really enjoyed our stop in Loviisa Finland. It was like being in a different world, probably noticeable to us since nearly everybody we encountered spoke some English. The town was surrounded by water and quite beautiful. We ended up staying at a downtown hotel and actually had our own room. There was a pool table in the lobby so Hans and I played a little pool while Judy explored the town. About 11 PM we were ready to turn in for the ...
