Hey all! Sorry it has been a while since I've posted. I've mainly just been attending class and having a lot of group dinners, so nothing extremely exciting to post about. I have now officially made an American "brinner" (breakfast for dinner) for me and a couple of buds, and they completely fell in love with it. They love pancakes and syrup. They wanted another one this week but I'm leaving so it will have to wait! Second picture is an awesome care package from my friends at KU. (You guys rock). I was starting to really have withdrawals from my normal peanut butter and chex mix, so it was very kind of them to aid in my unhealthy habits :) Next picture is from the Catalan dinner we had. Catalonia is really the region of Barcelona in Spain, but they like to consider themselves as more separate Marti informed me. We has Spanish omelets and I helped make the sangria! We also had toasted pieces of bread and you take a garlic clove and rub it against the toasted part of the bread and then take a tomato and do the same. You then drizzle some olive oil on it and bam! you have one gourmet piece of bread. There's also the option of putting a traditional Catalonian meat on top, or another kind of hard salami type meat.
   I leave for my Danish trip on Friday morning at 4am. That should be fun for me trying to wake up at 3 am and trying to go to bed at 8 the previous night... yeah right. Anyways, we have a whole agenda of sightseeing and museum attending throughout the 5 cities above. I'm extremely excited and it should be really neat. I'll have a lot more to say about it afterwards so keep checking in! I leave for Finland the following Monday and I can hardly wait for that as well. It'll be one busy week and a half for me, that's for sure.
   So far most of my pictures are of food, but I promise sightseeing is on its way! Tomorrow night is the Norwegian dinner and then off to pack! Hope everything and everyone is well and surviving the snow if you're in Colorado or Kansas.
