Girls Night, Love Day, Puppets, and Gospel Music

        Before continuing this blog, I can't believe I haven't introduced Megan and Molly yet. They came into the picture, also thanks to the previous au pair, Rebecca, who knew Molly. Megan and Molly are two beautiful half Scottish/Danish sisters.Molly previously au paired here and is now working here, while Megan is starting out au pairing here. They're both such incredibly nice, fun girls to be around. It's always a good time with them! I'm so glad to have met these great girls here. :) 
Friday 
Girls' night with Jen, Maria, and Megan with plenty of venting + laughing at children, especially them getting hurt. 
Thomas ended up stealing Maria away. 
Jen and I ended up at Charlie's. 
Ended the night with Sune time when his guys' night was done. :) 
I just love getting his super happy, big hugged greetings like on this night. 
Saturday 
      Chose to celebrate "Charlotte and Anne-Lise's love day" (moving in together party) over a rugby party. More important and no need for rugby dudes when you have a Sune.
      Had a nice, relaxing day, filled with way too much food (the table was never empty).
Heard the beginning of their love story which involved sending chilies on a dating site!
Followed by Anne-Lise practically online stalking, listening to he music, and seeing her in public without saying "hi."
They were beaming with excitement and love the whole day.  
      Saw (I believe) my first puppet show that night!
It started with two films... a zombie western and the next an eye opening autobiography about child porn.
Not your typical  puppet show. 
       This was followed by a more lighthearted real life show of these two really awesome looking, hilarious giant puppets with the funniest facial expressions. 
Most interesting puppet show
Sunday
Another beautiful day. Super clear, sunny blue skies... ALMOST to no hates or gloves weather!
Maria and I picked our couchsurfing hosts, then I headed out to enjoy the weather. 
I chilled at the lakes, soaked up some sun, and watched a very ungraceful swan. 
Maria and Thomas joined later and we found a good bagel shop where Sune met us too.  
They had more puppets to see, so Sune and I left for another wander and stumbled on gospel music at a church
We weren't too late, and got a great show with the liveliest church ever
Enjoyed the reggae gospel music
and awesome dance moves we wished we had
met super friendly people, former au pairs now Danish residents, 
and ate some food they made us have
Hopefully we'll make it back for their Easter service... I said if they were that lively on a normal day, I'd love to see their Easter service. 
Enjoyed some Anchorman, pasta, and googling and Pinteresting our dream house. And dog. 

Bring it on, Monday!

Tivoli and Rugby

         Adding another great week to the list for my time in Denmark. Last Tuesday, I went to an international gathering for students at DTU (Denmark Technical Institute) at the Cellar Bar. I met a couple cool people there from Belgium (Ruben), Canada, France, and Denmark and met back up with a couple of them on Friday night. We went to see one of their Spanish friends play a Latin set at a bar in the city. On our way there, we were a bit worried at how this place would be considering it was on the street well known for its... Services. But we got to the Luna Bar and it wound up being really fun. The band was actually excellent , and had everyone dancing. Ruben and his friends were a lot of fun to hang out with.          On Saturday, I went to Tivoli, the second oldest theme park, with the family and met Claus' parents and sister there. It's no wonder Tivoli inspired Walt Disney to do his own thing. It's a beautiful  amusement par...

Oh, London

                           I a rrived in London Saturday and met up with Kelli.We went out to meet some of her friends at Urban Bar... But not before taking a slight (two hour) detour to a slightly ghetto area. But we made it to the bar and all was well. I got quite tired and was nearly ready to go home before some entertaining people reeled me in with their awesome dance moves. So the jacket was taken back off and my second wind arrived. I'm so glad it did too because it was one interesting night.         I got to witness the owner "lighting his crotch on fire," like I'd hear about, was handed an umbrella proceeded by "Raining Men" coming on the bar getting sprayed with water. Then T here was an old lady with some crazy dance moves (mostly on a table) that took me back to Janice days (the token old lady frequenting the Jax Beach bars).  'Twas  soon time to go home at around 2am ...

Hej fra Danmark!

        So I've finally arrived in Denmark and all settled in already. It's awesome in every way so far; the parents are so friendly and cool, the kids are adorable, the weather is amazing (I'm the only one walking around in shorts, a T-shirt and sandals, of course), the house is a beautiful, cozy home built around 1921, I just got done with a little explorative walk and the neighborhood/area is picturesque with flowers everywhere, adorable homes, and a lake nearby... It's just wonderful.           Yesterday, after a little confusion about where to meet up, using a stranger's phone (as always), and wandering around a bit, Lotte and one of the kids picked me up from the airport greeting me with the sign shown below. We made it back to the house after a little detour (I guess Lotte gets distracted driving too!), and we had coffee. We had breads and cake they got from the bakery for me to try, and they were all delicious.       ...
