When Arlo was a baby I would take him over to the track in his stroller so the ladies who walked each morning could entertain him while I had a little run or swim on my own. One of his lady friends now has a summer home on the northern part of the island of Zealand (
Nordsjaelland) and she invited us to visit. We arrived at their home after using bikes, bus, train, and a car and thoroughly enjoyed the traditional Danish hospitality, beautiful weather, and the chance to speak English the whole day. We played soccer/football, climbed trees, picked berries, and walked to the beach. Despite the traveling, it was a relaxing and lovely day.
It looks and sounds absolutely lovely. This was on an island? How did you get to the island? Was there a bridge you drove over?
ReplyDeleteI have learned so much about Danish geography. Part of Denmark is the peninsula north of Germany, but the rest of the country is made up of islands, including the large island of Zealand, which includes Copenhagen and our town. Ten years ago a bridge opened connecting Copenhagen to southern Sweden, but you can still take a ferry in some areas.
ReplyDeleteIt's so nifty that you know someone else in Denmark. Glad to hear the traveling was enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteYou might have posted this already, but what's the wildlife like near you? Squirrels? Deer? Skunks? New different critters? Fewer critters?
There are huge snails and slugs, red squirrels, and two-toned crows. I have seen dead hedgehogs, but no living ones.
