Fun fun fun
Tivoli was great, it is an old amusement park in the middle of Copenhagen and it's so beautiful. There was a ton of fun rides that we went on such as a fast roller coaster called the Demon, and one that moved us all around and got me unfortunately nauseous, called the Monsoon. When the lights came on after dark, it was transformed into a beautiful wonderland. There were so many lights that came on and we walked past a lake with a lit up boat in it and there was lanterns hanging down from the trees. It was definitely a good time for my host siblings and I. We rode almost all the rides (there wasn't too many) and got some dinner of burgers and some dessert of yummy dessert that had all sorts of candy in it, yum. We ended up leaving the park at around 11:30 and it took us another 40 minutes to get home on the train so it was a late night, but it was a lot of fun. Today I had a lazy morning with my host sister and then finally decided to go for a run, luckily its getting easier to run around the lake in my town so hopefully that means I'm getting in better shape then I was. I plan to keep up working out, lets hope it last! Then my host parents came home and they had brought my host grandma called Mar Mar, which means mother's mother, home to stay with us for a few days. She is very sweet and doesn't know much english at all, which is good because then I am learning more danish. My danish is surprisingly improving, maybe not so much with me talking, but at least more with me understanding. We had a good dinner of steak and salad and potatoes and now I am just updating my blog. I am pretty tired from yesterday in Tivoli so I may just have an early night tonight. I am supposed to be starting school on Thursday but I have to go to a meeting at my school on Wednesday to confirm that I will not be starting later! I hope that isn't the case, I don't know why it would be. Nevertheless I am very excited to start! More later. Farvel!

Zoe,
ReplyDeleteI just sat down and read all your posts! I feel like i am experiencing what you are because of how descriptive your blog is written, I love it! It sounds like you are adjusting and I have a few questions about the tea, hot or cold, sweetened or unsweetened and is it a special tea or just a regular black tea? I would assume they would be drinking coffee, not sure why I think that. Love to you and I look forward to hearing how your school meeting went. Love, Aunt Cyndi
