Danish tour
I am back from my Denmark adventure and now packing for my Finland adventure! It was a great weekend with awesome weather. We traveled first to Skagen, to the beaches and sand dunes. The beach was incredible and I got to stand at the northernmost tip where the North sea and Baltic sea meet. The water was a little cold, but it was worth it! At the dunes, we found a really steep hill and decided it was a good idea to roll down it... it was super fun, but finding sand the next 3 days in all my clothes was not. Definitely worth it though. From there we traveled to Aalborg. I loved it and thought it was very quaint. We stayed the night there and also got a tour of the city. The next day we headed to Aarhus, which is the second largest city in Denmark where we visited the ARoS art museum (it has a rainbow circular observation area at the top where I have one of my pictures) and toured the city. I met the Danish soccer team when we went out as well so that was pretty neat. I played fussball with the goalie of the team, but I think I need a little more practice... I wasn't a very good team mate. From there we went to Odense, the third and oldest city in Denmark, wandered around and got to see Hans Christian Andersen's house as well as the museum. The trip was an incredible few days full of new people and new places. I think I will definitely travel back to some of the cities at the end of the semester. Now I'm off for a week in Finland where it will be negative four degrees Fahrenheit to ten degrees, but it is supposedly the best year, and best weekend to see the Northern lights. I'm extremely excited and can't wait to share what I experience when I get home!
