Long day of travel- waking up at 7AM to take the Metro, to take the RER, to take a plane, to take a train- but I am in Odense Denmark! With other Svens! And it's awesome! They are incredibly nice, and made a nice typically Danish meal for me, then showed me around Odense a little bit (saw Hans Christian Andersen's boyhood home today!) and then we had tea and conversation for a long time. It's been tons of fun, as they are very nice and incredibly funny (if you want to know a bizarre story, ask me about the cat and what it does to sweaters...) and friendly people. Also, they do an incredibly amount of genealogy, so I now have a 62 page document to read about my ancestry! PSYCHED!
Tomorrow we are driving to Copenhagen, so it should be a good day for sightseeing, both typical and Sven-specific. It's also a very important and somber day for Denmark, as April 9th was the day that marked the beginning of the German occupation during World War II. It should be interesting to see what kind of memorials or tributes I see in the Capital. Will post tomorrow when I get the chance.
