5 Days in Denmark (so far)
Long lunches and lots of pastry
17.11.2008 - 22.11.2008
We are very busy here with visiting, visiting and more visiting (and eating, eating and more eating) but it's all going very well. Yesterday evening was the big family gathering with 27 of us in all - everyone except Mejse and Mads (Mikael's 2 eldest) - we'll see them tomorrow. Our children are warming up to Bedstefar nicely - so he is very happy (he was a little nervous about whether he'd be able to communicate with them).
We have enjoyed beautiful blue skies the past two days with a temperature just barely above zero. Nicer than the rain and strong winds we were greeted with for the first few days!
After 3 nights in Vester Saaby with Susanne, Klaus and their two extremely cute and affectionate girls, we are in Aarhus with Knud-Erik (Christian's dad). He not only has beautiful panoramic views from his apartment, he also lives very close to what is reputedly the best bakery in Aarhus. The smørrebrød we've had thus far has been very tasty!
Yesterday we walked to the centre of Aarhus - it takes only about 10-15 minutes. We enjoyed the many beautiful old red brick apartment buildings we passed en route. Emil requested that we visit Aros, the museum of modern art. He has fond memories of it from last time we were in Denmark and we enjoyed it very much... everything from the whimsical to the absurd to the disturbing.
I hope we might manage another walk into town and a visit to the main cathedral today as well as the music shop where nephew Martin works, before we head to Mikael and Solveig's home on the west coast of Jutland. Knud-Erik is coming with us which is good - otherwise it would have felt that we hadn't seen enough of him.
