Reflections on our Adventures in Denmark

Reflections on our Adventures in Denmark

  On our way home. Now that we have returned and rested for multiple weeks- I would like to take some time to put closure on our trip in Denmark. When I first left Vermont I felt as though I was swept away- without the proper amount of time to say goodbye. But such is my experience …

Oslo, Norway

Oslo, Norway

On gigantic boat which to me looked more like a building tilted on its side and plunked into the water than a sea-craft we sailed for 17 hours to the chilly capital of Norway, Oslo. At the end of a sixty mile fjord- the city rests with many wonderful places and museums just waiting to be explored. …

Hello world! I am now going to pause our usual programming to talk about how EXTREMELY EXCITED I am that Stranger Things 2 will be coming out tomorrow (in less than 12 hours as I am writing this). I realize how nerdy this is- and I apologize to any of you who were expecting cool castles and …

Dragør

Dragør

Dragør is little fishing town 40 minutes South of Copenhagen. With colorful yellow buildings and many orange tile roofs- this village could be mistaken for  a charming town on Bornholm if it were not for the fact that Dragør is built on flat land- and as I remember it- Bornholm was quite hilly. …

The Deer Park: Second Trip

The Deer Park: Second Trip

We returned to the Deer Park recently- it is a fabulous place, and perhaps this will begin a trend of repeated and potentially frequent trips there. I was able to take some pictures of it's autumnal magic, and I am glad to share with you it's wonder once again: The station as we got off the …

The Deer Park

The Deer Park

Hello! A few days ago we went to Jægersborg Dyrehave- a deer park in the north of Copenhagen. Now- when I first heard of a "deer park" I was a bit confuzzled- it is basically 1,000 acres of forest and field in which 10,000 deer live. Now- I can tell you- when I first heard that I had wild hopes …

A Beautiful Evening

A Beautiful Evening

A while back, as my family and myself began making our way back to our apartment from the State Museum of Art I noticed some extremely lovely views of the Copenhagen with the evening sky- and I wanted to share them with you: On the Steps of the State Museum of Art A Beautiful Evening Sky Walking …

Rhubarb Lemonade

Rhubarb Lemonade

Now- when I first heard this type of drink being referred to as lemonade I'll admit I was surprised- considering it has no lemon in it. As I understand it, this "Rabarber" drink I had was similar to lemonade in the sense that it is mostly water, with rhubarb juice and added sugar. It is quite good- …

Grundtvig’s Church

Grundtvig’s Church

A few days ago we went on a walk through Bispebjerg- a district of Copenhagen. We found ourselves looking for a building- one which we had heard great things about. We walked down streets for a while- unsure of when we might come across this building- and suddenly as we walked past an entrance to …

Bornholm, day two

Bornholm, day two

Bornholm is an amazing place to visit, and I highly recommend going to the Hammershus ruins, but it was in the second day that I truly was enchanted. The town of Gudhjem is beautiful, with orange tile roofs, houses with shining black  paint trim, and rocky terrain going up the hill it rests on. It …

Bornholm, day one

Bornholm, day one

My family and I just got back from someplace I hope never to forget; an island called Bornholm. It is in the middle of the Baltic Sea, and although to is closer to Sweden than Denmark, it is still Danish territory (although as I understand it, ownership of Bornholm was disputed over often hundreds …

Walls of White Paint

Walls of White Paint

I've been fascinated lately about how white paint jobs on walls can seem so similar from afar yet be so different up-close. I've decided to search through the shops and museums of Copenhagen and document some of the white walls that I find. This one above is from our apartment. This one is …

Pastry Sunday and Chocolate Snails

Pastry Sunday and Chocolate Snails

One of the great things to do when you go to someplace you've never been before is to taste to local cuisine. (Or so I can guess, being a person who hasn't done much traveling or gone much of anywhere out of my normal experience in my life; I suppose I am not one to say much on the subject. But …

A marvelous city!

I like Copenhagen. The city, or the old town at least, feels very warm and cozy. The streets are often cobbled and on either side of you there are stores which sell all sorts of odd things. The food here is very good, and the restaurants we've gone to have been very nice. Although, I think I …

ATTENTION WORLD: …we are in Denmark

ATTENTION WORLD: …we are in Denmark

Hello universe! I am Asher from Vermont, and my family and I have just recently moved to Denmark for five months (which, overall, in my personal opinion will prove to be AN ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL ADVENTURE!). As I said in my 8th Grade graduation thesis (yes, I had one of those): My mother will be …
