"To Be Continued..."

Heyyylooo-

  So, I am here to continue my last blog and finish telling you all about my three day trip to Western Denmark. On the last day we went to a town called Arhus. Arhus is located on the mainland of Denmark, known as Jutland. Arhus is also known as the 'little brother' of Copenhagen. Here we visited De Gamble By (The Old Town) and an Art Museum. The Old Town is a reconstruction of what an old town in Denmark would have looked like a long time ago....It's like Denmark's version of "Old Sturbridge Village". All the houses were just too darn cute. I can't tell you a thing about it because I failed to listen to my tour guide. My friends and I were a bit distracted by something now known as "The Stink Eye". If you would like to learn what this is, please consult me at a later time. (Picture at Left) 

We visited this Old Town with the other half of the PCD group and they seemed to not be having nearly as much fun as we were. They were all complaining about how they couldn't wait to get back to Copenhagen, and everyone on my trip didn't want to leave! The students that I traveled with on this trip are the same ones going with me to Holland- so I am super excited that we all get along so well! I'm already counting down the days until our next adventure!

We also visited the Art museum in Arhus. I really liked this museum. I visited the Modern Art Gallery, The Contemporary Art Gallery and this special exhibition they had in the basement called the 9 Spaces- where the rooms were made to resemble those of Dante's Divine Comedy...It was very interesting! One peice of art really bothered me though...It was a video of a man sacrificing a horse and dismembering each individual parts of its body. These parts are now on display in jars inside the museum- but the video was horrific!! Talk about animal cruelty...this would never fly in the states!!! We also tried to go to the Activity Room because we really wanted to be crafty. We sat down and  started constructing our peices of Art...Adam decided to cut out large Penises on Magenta construction paper. At this point in time a lady came in and kicked us out. Not because of the Penises, but because we needed a ticket to be in there. Oh well.

This weekend I am taking an over night mini cruise to Oslo, Norway! I am super excited. Also, I have gotten word that there was a special on American TV about Denmark being the happiest country in the world!!!..well, let me tell you...I think its rubbing off!!....I couldn't be any happier :-)

Living amongst the happiest people,
