I just heard the Danish version of “Livin’ on a Prayer” on the radio. It was awesome. We arrived in this fair country late Monday night after a quick, one hour flight from Londontowne. It was nice to get out of England, where it was cold and rainy. We spent our final day there visiting the British Museum. They’ve got lots of Roman, Egyptian and Greek artifacts that were recovered by British archaeologists over the years. In one room they had a good portion of the frieze from the Parthenon. Apparently the Greeks are pretty upset about this. They think the frieze of the Parthenon should be on the Parthenon. But instead it’s in a museum in London, across the street from the Sainsburys supermarket. I don’t know what they’re so upset about.

They don’t bicker about that kind of stuff in Denmark. It’s too chill here. This place has a different vibe from anywhere else I’ve been in the world. It’s laid back, friendly, cozy, all that good stuff. And they’ve got old people riding bicycles here. That doesn’t happen in the U.S.

Anyhøø, Jamie and I are settling into our temporary Danish apartment (Inger’s place) and trying to get some work done in between the cheese and øl and Haribo mix and all that. We’re planning a couple day trips as well. One to a small town called Odense about an hour away. The other to the south coast of the small island that Copenhagen is on. So it’ll be good to get out, spend some Kroner and take some føtøs. (I hope that’s not a swear word in Danish.)

OK, back to work. Talk to you on the interweb.
