First Snow

We had a blast on Saturday night. We went to the city and picked up our tickets and yup, you guessed it, went for a Guinness. Seriously we are addicted to the stuff. We spent as long as we could in the pub to stay warm. It was fun in there, lots of Irish tunes and singing going on. We left there and went to one of our favorite cafes for a bite to eat. I had a veggie/mozzarella sandwich and Michael had a chicken club sandwich. From there it was time to head to the front gates of Tivoli to wait to be let into the park to get to the theater. It was kinda cool to get a preview of Christmas in Tivoli because it was already decorated. Though this will be the third time we have been to Tivoli at Christmas time, there is something really exciting about seeing it again...and again...and again. "Around the World in 80 Minutes" was HILARIOUS!!!!! Just as good as last years...if not better. This years show lasted 3 hours. Last year, we were in there 3.5 hours! But it goes so fast! When we got there we got a couple beers for the show and were able to pre-order our drinks for the intermission! I thought that was a good idea. Michael just went out to a tent and found our drink number and just picked up our drinks and came back. Cool idea since the line at the bar was outrageous at intermission.The woman that writes the play is incredible. This year there were 3 scenes where the characters where in the US (California, the Great Plains and New York to be exact) So it was funny to hear them making fun of the US. Especially the part where everyone has a gun, because it is a topic of conversation that always comes up with our Danish friends. Then there is a character every year called, "Dr. van Helsingør from Elsinore" who is basically in the play to make fun of the Danes. This character is too funny for words. I know it is a year away, but I'm already excited for next years "Crazy Christmas Cabaret".

Mmmmm Both mine!

It was quite cold all weekend. Last night it started to hail a little bit...or so it appeared. I looked carefully at the hail falling but it wasn't really bouncing off the ground when it hit...so I opened the door and picked up some and it was the strangest stuff! It was clearly hail, perfectly round but it was so fluffy to the touch... soft hail perhaps? I went to see what Wikipedia had to say about it and I think it was Graupel more commonly know as snow pellets! If this is what it was, it only lasted about 3 minutes before it clearly turned into thick snowflakes. It only snowed for about 45 minutes to an hour and didn't leave more then a pretty dusting of white. Our balcony is still covered in ice.

If you enlarge the picture you can see that everything falling is in perfect little circles. As is the stuff on the ground.

We got brave and made feet prints in the snow. I really don't know why.

I love the way the roof look out in the distance with a little white on them.
