Learning to Love Our Lives Abroad: Pictures...I HOPE!!

Yesterday our day started out great. I went to Lyngby with Michael and we went to DTU to see a few people. One was our good friend Dorte. She is one of the secretaries at the university and she became a friend and was wonderful to us while we were here last time. Her family is very sweet too and we have scheduled a dinner with them at the beginning of January. We had all wanted to do it sooner, but with the Christmas Holidays, it was hard to find time before. We also saw one of Michaels old advisor's, Pierro. He is Italian and always made us laugh. It was great to see both of them. From here Michael went to work, and I spent a short time in Lyngby at the "Store center" (like a mall) and grocery store. I came back to the hotel and left again where I spent several hours wondering aimlessly around central Copenhagen. It has always been one of my favorite things to do and favorite ways to take in the city. On my way back to the hotel it started raining and got VERY windy. (this had happened to me the previous day as well)By the I got back to the hotel and I looked in the mirror, I looked like a Dane with their rosy cheeks!!! I had the rosiest cheeks I had ever seen on me. I cleaned up the hotel room and did some laundry.. in the sink and hung it on the laundry line in the shower (because it is going to cost us at this point 160 bucks to get hardly any laundry done at all, and while TI would pay for it, We are both too nice to charge that amount for laundry to the company) Last time I did laundry in the sink was right after the first time we had moved to Denmark the first time. We have been searching for a laundry mat, but aren't having any luck and no one can really tell us a close one to go to. I know where several are, but they are pretty far and I don't want to drag our clothes all that way. I will do another load today.... :)

Ok, so we have been having some problems with posting pictures and video. The hotel we are staying at apparently has a filter of some kind turned on to where we can't. We have tried NUMEROUS things to try to be able to get them online and FINALLY I found something that works... for the pictures, still working on the video though.

I had tried to post some pictures in the post yesterday, and I thought I had it, but then I had an email from my mom telling me otherwise. Bleh.... These are thumbnails and small and when you click on them, it will take you to another site to look at the pictures... pain for now, but will have to do.....
So I hope this works:
(Please let me know if it does or doesn't!!)
