The Journey Continues

Hello Everyone,

Thanks for all your continued support and wonderful comments. The fun is still going strong.

Yesterday (Saturday) was another big and adventurous day. After getting back from Korsor, we ate lunch and prepared for our premier event. The Grand Prix. The adventures were starting to catch up with us all, so we decided to give it our all tonight, and sleep in tomorrow, dropping an activity or two. By sleeping in, I mean to bed by 11PM and up by 8AM. What a luxury. So, we had some sandwiches, got inside the van, and headed out. On our journey Mary (daisy) was at the wheel. I must say not the most experienced stick shifter on the planet, at one time holding up the entire population of Slagelse and rolling backward down the hill with drivers oin a panic at the same time. We did make it alive. Barely.

The Grand Prix was amazing. Can you even imagine? 12 or so bands, all with disabilities competing for the ultimate prize. huge gymnasium, lights, pro cameras, the works. We all had our Lifeworks shirts that VASAC (lifeworks Danish sister program) made for us. The quality of the band was top notch. We all ended up buying CDs, even though they were like $20. I have not mentioned but stuff is crazy expensive here. Ann bought a $7.50 Mocha in Copenhagen! We were all a Little shocked. but, you only get the opportunity to buy a $7.50 Mocha in Copenhagen once. It was, reportedly, a fine Mocha.

Anyhow, the bands were excellent. Judy our president was one of the judges. Judge Judy. Ha Ha. A band eventually won the competition to much rejoicing, and dinner was then served. It was great food. TOmato salad. Weird green cauliflowers and potato, and a spiced chicken. Ice cream cake for desert. After this, the pro bands performed. I really enjoyed the second band, the one from VASAC, MC EMBACHER.

By this time everyone was falling over from Lifeworks. Not so with the Danish crowd. Wine and beer was flowing freely. The third band was well known, and everyone started going wild. We just could not keep pace. I guess they all stay out till like midnight hooping and hollering. We took our exit and were excited to be sleeping in.

Today, everyone is heading to Hamlet's Castle and Sweden. I stayed back because we do have on unfortunate casualty. Jeff has a cold and we are taking it easy today. Not a bad thing, because we can enjoy Sunday Danish style. Tea and Pro Badmitten!

The rest of the gang will report back tomorrow, hopefully, with their exciting tale. Again, getting internet has been hard for us. but, we maintain and excel.

Everyone sends all their love. no fights, no tears, no home sickness (much), and all memorable experiences.

Best,

Adrian and the Lifeworks crew.
