I'm going to start with Saturday because it was a extra special fun day and I'll get to the rest in the next couple days. Saturday we all went over to Sweden for the afternoon for some food, drink, and walking. Micahel and I hadn't been to Malmö since October of 2002, and we were excited to go back again.

We left Sweden and made a stopover in Central Copenhagen and went to the coolest (in every sense of the word) bar EVER. I had seen that at the beginning of the summer Copenhagen opened an Absolut Icebar in one of the hotels. We hadn't been yet, and had talked about going a few times, but never went out of our way to actually get there. Thanks to Myra showing great interest we finally made it and so glad we did. After paying to get in they threw our giant warm parkas over our head and took us to the bar where we all got our drinks in our "ice" glasses. It was a nice change as the longer your drink sat, the colder it got!
The bottom of that sign says:
"Entrance to the world of -5 C"
Thats freakin' cold!

The Bar. All that ice stacked is a bunch of glasses made of ice.
The bar was all made of ice as well.

After we warmed up in the funky courtyard we went for a nice relaxing dinner at another wine bar and enjoyed people watching.Funky Cool Courtyard
It was probably only about 60 degrees out and it was a little chilly, but after we got out of the ice bar it felt like summer!

Surprisingly these were some of the most comfortable chairs I've ever sat in. 
Myra and Anders, one of the bartenders who was nice enough to take a picture with Myra. I think she would have packed him to take home if she could have.
Cute Restaurant for Dinner.
We sat outside.

Wow that was a lot of pictures! :o)
Tomorrow our friend Kevin is stopping through for a couple days. He is backpacking through Europe right now, and we are lucky enough to be on his stop. Kevin and I were in the marching band and band fraternity/sorority together. This last week has been a very fun way to end the summer!

I loved this post. Your mom and I just knew you were up to something. It looks like you all had a great time. If you drink out of ice glasses, don't your lips stick? Or do they have straws? At any rate, it is wonderful to see Myra. Isn't it great to have such wonderful friendships that you can actually trace back to good old Texas Tech? Hugs to you and Michael,
Sharon
You are SO right I would have packed Anders up and the cute Italian guy I said "buona sera" to on the street. May I never get to old to mack on cute guys.
I had SO much fun w/ Nichole and Michael. Everyone who reads this blog - run to Denmark to visit. skip the plane - run across the Atlantic. they are the world's most fabulous, fun, entertaining, gracious hosts. I had a great time!
hey Sharon:
for some reason, only Nichole got a straw from the aforementioned Anders. it's actually really cool - the heat from my lip made an indentation in the ice glass. Michael had the same experience. That was so fun; we needed those parkas and the gloves.
I loved the Parkas you all got to wear at the Icebar! What a fun and different experience. The pictures you posted are beautiful. I know it was great to see Myra again. She is as adventurous as the two of you!!
Wow how cool!! I would love to try a place like that..
It looks like you had a great time!
I'm glad you make sure your visiting friends have a good time in "my" country (and Sweden!).
I triend one of those "ball chairs" once and they really are comfortable!
