Two in One: Weekend Update

Easter Weekend

I got back from my Nethergium trip late on Thursday, so just had a nice movie night with Sune.

2. Made pie and FaceTimed Mom, Dad, and Matt and met his new girlfriend! Good FaceTime with Amy too.

3. Had a great night out with Molly and Megan at Francis Pony.

4. Learned about Molly's crazy roommates and coworkers during our Easter coffee and cake with Megan, Molly, and Molly's friend.

5. Got the best Thai food takeout with Suneman and spent the night

playing guitar. I enjoyed this mucho, especially the Easter songs since we missed the church service due to a key mixup.

7. We had our first experience at the Listening Room, where they have singer/songwriters every Sunday.

8. We biked around, chilled on a hill by The Lake, and enjoyed the sun... While every other Dane did the same. I love how they revel in the sun whenever it's out. Music and chillin on the bridge. Excellent. A very chill Monday.

9. Sune fooled me when we started watching Clerks and he had it to the sound of Beethoven... I think it was meant to be that way.

This Weekend I...

1. Soaked up the sun with Maria in Fælledparken, a great little park with people slack lining and so many dogs.

2. Got a little rowdy with the whole crew (Maria, Megan, Anne Lise, Charlotte, Arthur and Karen Sofie) in Café Retro, with conversations you wouldn't want your grandma to hear.

3. Danced on tables in the Dubliner with Megan and Maria C.

4. Got slightly lost on what should have been a 5 minute walk to the train station for my bike. I wound up like 30 minutes away, threw out my strawberries and sunglasses off a bridge out of distraught drunkeness, and met some awesome lady strangers that took me in and brought me along to Christiana adventures. That was an unexpected turn of events that night.

5. Then had a tame, cafe-lounging, book-reading Sunday

6. Continued the tradition of music at the Listening Room with Sune on Sunday... even if the music was a bit too weird involving bizarre, "artistic" lyrics, crazy sound effects, and a weird bit with the stoic dude rubbing a chain on his guitar while the chick pushed buttons for some futuristic sound effects and the dude then dropping the chain dramatically to the floor. Weird.

What were the highlights of your weekend, readers?

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...

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. ...

Crater Lake Birthday {Dylan's 40th}

Dylan has never been a big birthday celebration guy. This year when I asked him what he wanted to do, he said something like, "I don't know. Maybe get some nice dinner around town somewhere?" But I on the otherhand must celebrate birthdays. Especially Dylan's. This guy deserves a memorable celebration. So I insisted we go to Crater Lake and it was so worth it. What an incredible, jaw dropping, thought provoking place. The first night, we sat enjoying the bluest waters with the perfect lighting. We camped at Mazama where we were all set up with our new camping boiler thing to cook up our freeze dried camping meals, new headlamps, coffee plans... and then ate some hot chili and a meal at the campground lodge. haha We at least enjoyed out coffee at the tent the next morning. The next day was filled with three fantastic hikes to see the Watchman Lookout for epic views of this like 2000' deep, 7700 year old crater. Then we got a lovely wildflower loop and waterfall ...

Where's Abby (+ Dylan and dogs)
