End of the Tour

Our original plan was to visit the brewery on Thursday, but when morning approached were all shaken up by some news from back home. It deserves its own post, which I cannot write right now, so I'll get back to it later. We spent some of the morning at home and then I suggested we get out of the house and go eat lunch at a cafe up the street. We all got great big sandwiches and coffee and we sat and looked at the pretty flowers at the flower shop. I'm not sure what got into me, but I kept staring at Michaels tuna sandwich and I just had to have a bite. For those of you that don't know me well.... I don't do fish. cooked fish, raw fish, fresh fish, frozen fish, good fish, bad fish, lake fish, sea fish, 1fish, 2 fish, red fish, blue fish. I just don't do fish. I do however on occasion get the weird urge to take a bite of Michaels. And most of those times, I can't taste it too much because we have been drinking. haha. Actually Sunday Wayne and I both ate fish too (very little fish), along with beer and schnapps and tons of bread. But that was because we were trying not to be rude. Thursday however was one of those days I just got the weird urge to taste it just beacause, so I did. Tayna documented the occasion for me.

Just one Bite

Here I go....

"De fire årstider" Flower shop in Lyngby

We came home for a little while and I made a pot of chili and we all just sat around and talked to each other. In the evening T&W had decided they wanted to go for a walk since we hadn't been out of the house too much. We headed to the grocery store first so Wayne could get money back from the bottles they have been using, then we got ice cream, and walked around the lake nearby.

I was so proud of him going to the cash register all by himself. That sounds silly, but they both would have freaked out if we asked them to do this on day 1 of their trip here.

Ice Cream from "Paradis"

No trip to Denmark would be complete without seeing the SLUUUUGS!!!

Most of the trip this is what Tanya looked like.

Back home...
In 18 months I've never posted this.This is the back door of our building.

Friday we got Michael out to the airport and the three of us went to go eat some of those famous Danish hotdogs and went shopping in the store center. It was an easy day for us as we were winding down their trip, they packed, Tanya did a little work for work and Wayne watched tv! We ran out in the evening for one last Ice Cream....

Bacon + Hotdog = Happy Wayne

T&W managed to come and spend almost 2 weeks in Denmark and saw nothing but lovely weather. There were a few cooler days, but nothing too bad. Everyone including us kept telling them they aren't seeing real Denmark and they came at the perfect time. In their almost two weeks they hardly saw any clouds, never saw a drop of rain, and experienced very little wind. I told them over and over that if when they left, it got cloudy dark and rainy I would be calling them begging them to come back. We woke up to colder weather, and after I dropped them off at the airport, the clouds started rolling in and it turned dark. Though a drop of water has yet to hit the ground.

Cloudy Denmark....AKA: Real Denmark

To make me feel better about the clouds, they helped create a nice sunset tonight!

And for T&W we LOVED having you here with us. Thank you so much for visiting!!! It was really special for us to get to show you around this little country we fell in love with so long ago. Honestly, having you here will forever be one of our highlights from our time living in Denmark. Nana and Kathy will be so proud of you both when we tell them what great international travelers you are. :o) When I got home, this little guy was sitting on the top of the sunroom. I think he was missing you.....

FYI: This is my 3rd post for the day, so don't stop reading here because there is more below.
