Hi all,
A month in and it feels like just yesterday that I wandered off the plane into a new country, not knowing anybody in the whole continent. I am now the one able to help give directions and some recommendations. Things have definately slowed down compared to the first couple of weeks but still very busy compared to most standards. The weather has been absolutely beautiful; only one day of rain since I have been here. It has rained a couple times late at night and early morning but once the sun comes up the clouds seem to clear out. We have been to the beach several more times since the last time I wrote (I will put up some pictures of us playing American football at the beach) and we go to the King's Garden a lot. It's a park in the middle of the city that is a great place to relax, read, play frisbee, etc. I have not been to any of the museums yet but that is because we are trying to do as much outside as we can before the weather turns cold and rainy in October. Today we are going to Tivoli which has lots of restaurants, a theme park and I am honestly not sure what else since I have not been there yet. I will take pictures and elaborate on my next post. The website is http://www.tivoli.dk/composite-3351.htm if you want more information on it. It's a very big attraction for both tourists and locals alike.
I was able to watch the Colorado State vs Colorado football game online which I am very happy about since CSU won and that has not happened for several years. Wish I could have been able to fly home for the game and fly back when it was over :) In my last post I talked about Mathias from Belgium who had his first PB&J sandwich and couldn't stop eating them. Well to add to that story, one of the guys on my floor from LA had his parents ship him a box of goodies which included some JIF peanut butter because the peanut butter here is subpar. Mathias may have just found one of his favorite foods. He loves JIF and all "american food" which we decided is american because of how it is prepared. Ie: BBQ chicken, fried egg sandwich, PBJ, homemade pizza sandwich. He just loves sandwiches in general. It's pretty entertaining to watch him discover new foods that he never ate in Belgium but seem so mainstream at home.
I finally have my first trip booked for the weekend of September 25; I am going to Munich with some friends from here. I am very excited and cannot wait to finally get some traveling in. I know this is a shorter post than the others but I am leaving for Tivoli here in a few minutes. I will finish the update and add pictures this weekend. I wish everybody a fun and safe weekend.
