Holidays

What I love about the holidays is when you hear from relatives.  And even if it's contacting on messenger, it's always nice to hear from them.

Anne, I love you girl! 

Church Bjernede

This past Wednesday, after having lunch with the family in Ringsted, we went to visit one of the seven round churches found here on Zealand.  The other six are found on Bornholm. 

I am always stoked when I hear how old these buildings are.  Bjernede Rundkirke's granite foundation is from about the year 1170 and the pulpit from the 1600's.  Amazing! 

I was hoping to take a glimpse of the church's interior, but because we visited during the Christmas holidays, it was closed. 

Here are some pictures I took. 

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. 

I'm proud to be able to experience living in Denmark... and hope to explore more.

Ringsted

Hello everyone!

I hope you all had a great Jul/Christmas.
I know we did.

Here are some photos we took this past Wednesday. It was a post-birthday party for my mother-in-law. The restaurant was nice and the food awesome.

Christmas Parade in Kalundborg

After the parade, we made our way to the train station to get a glimpse of the Christmas train. As we were cutting through Føtex's parking lot, we spotted this motorcycle. The guy was sweet enough and proud to tell us a little about the model and the motorcycle organization he belonged too. Let's just say, he's no HELL'S ANGELS.

It was a nice, crisp, and cold morning.

Finally we made it to the spot where the Christmas train was coming in. Since I've always loved watching trains, I was really excited to see this one.

After meeting Frank and his family at the train station, we all walked back to the square.

I am still trying to figure out what the helk he was carrying. Is this broccoli?

Keld, Frank, Marcus, Annina, and Mom. I forgot her name. Ooops!

This was the cutest gremlin I had seen that day.

I was not sure whether to be appalled or in awe with these shoes. The Southern American in me finds these really tacky, but then the Mexican in me comes out and LOVES them.
