We are in Denmark! Alive and well!
Wow,
It has been such a great time so far. Filled with thrills, spills, and adventures. We all got on the plane from Minneapolis to Amsterdam at 9:35 PM with our heads held high. The 9 hour plane ride was not as bad as anyone thought it would be. They had personal TVs for everyone, and you could watch any movie you want. Jeff Perlman enjoyed Transformers Pt. II, while Aron Valdez watched 4 movies total. We all tried to get some sleep on the plane, but I bet we all got about 3 hours total each. We got two meals, and snacks.
Next, we arrived at Amsterdam (really seemed like a short flight), and it was 6AM in Minneapolis, but already 1PM in Amsterdam. We hopped on a short flight, the stewards and stewardesses' were great, then we were in Copenhagen, Denmark! We quickly got all our bags (everyone's arrived), and rented the Vans. It was tricky to find them in the parking lot, but we eventually did. They are big, and have stick shifts. Crazy. I am driving one (Adrian), and so is Judy and Mitch.c By this time it is about 7PM (12PM Minnesota time) and dark outside. Now we are driving to Musholm, about an hour away. The drive was beautiful and mysterious. The driving was fun, but everyone was tired being up for about 24 hours at this time.
We arrived in Musholm, and had a delicious dinner sponsored by Madame Bogger. The Dinner was Turkey, broccoli, and rice with a delicious paprika red sauce. We took a group picture and split up to our rooms to go to bed.
Our rooms are awesome. Very forward thinking and accessible. Be sure to watch the video tour. Really a beautiful landscape. Quaint rustic looking houses with red ceramic roofs and a cloudy brisk environment. We are right on the North sea.
About 7 hours later, we are up. It is 7AM (12AM minneapolis), and ready to go. We tour VASAC, a place that serves people much like lifeworks does. VASAC KOBE has a second hand shop. We eat breakfast and but souvenirs. We are in Korsor. We go to the VASAC coffee shop and tour an ancient fort. Then we hit Slaslage. It is a shopping town. Now, I am in the library blogging. Whew!
Sorry for the messy writing. We are in such a rush to see all the wonderful sights. Everyone is in a great mood and sends lots of love. Everyone is so happy to be meeting new people and getting to know each other more. Also, Molly has asked me to shout out Burnsville Lifeworks every five minutes since we left. So, BURNSVILLE SHOUT OUT HOLLA!!!!
Oh, and I will blog as much as possible, there are not tons of spots to get the internet where we are. I expect we can do it everyday.
Miss you all so much.
Everyone says hi.
