Nothing too extraordinary has happened in the last few weeks; we go to the beach occasionally, go into one of the nearby towns for shopping, swimming, we went to an amusement park. The amusement park was fun, is no Cedar Point, but its hard to beat that. 
     Oh how I love the Olympics.  It is probably one of the things I had been most excited about for this summer, apart from this trip.  Since the Olympics started we have pretty much been watching the games all day, with a few choice trips every once and a while. Its pretty nice to just sit and relax.  I am, however, looking forward to seeing my mom in a few days. It's gonna be nice to see her again. 

Shopping, swimming, badminton, candle making, beach adventures, and sunsets, that's what the last three days consisted of.  It has been really fun. Every day we go to a different town to go shopping, its really cool. Also every day we go to a community center thing, they have swimming, badminton, ping pong, and other things. The badminton is really fun, even though I'm not to good at it, but still fun. The swimming is great, as usual, and the sauna is as well. Today we went candle making, and it was a...different experience. They turned out nicely though, mine is like an orange-y pink-ish color, like a sunset kinda. One thing I have noticed is that Denmark is so different from Norway. It's not just the fact that everything is less expensive, its that there is so much more to do here; and the people seem genuinely nicer than the Norwegian people. Then there is the sunsets, which are so gorgeous! The sun turns the sky a deep pink, and the reflection on the water is priceless.

     I could definitely get used to seeing this view every night.  This is a great vacation. :)

     Our first day here in Denmark was fairly busy. After we all ate breakfast we walked to a nearby farm. We saw all the animals; which include: cats, chickens, deer, donkeys, goats, guinea pigs, horses, pigs, rabbits, and roosters. It was really cool, one of the cats had a litter and the kittens were small enough to fit in your hand, it was adorable. The next thing we did was go strawberry picking. It was really cool, and I do have to admit that I may have eaten a lot of the strawberries as I was picking them. But hey, they were there, I wasn't just going to not eat them. :) Our next destination was a swimming pool, where I got my first experience in a sauna. They are really sweet. Also at the pool they had raft type things and all of the kids were trying to get the others off of the raft, I was the only one successful of not getting pushed off! :) It was a successful day at the pool. After the pool we relaxed and ate our strawberries that we picked earlier, and they were delicious! Our last destination of the day was the sand dunes, they are not as big as the Sleeping Bear dunes, but they were still cool. To get to the actual dunes we rode bikes through the sand, which I do not recommend because it is not easy, and then walking just a little bit. The cool thing about these dunes is that the sand has moved a little bit every year. for example, there used to be houses on the dunes but now they are destroyed because the sand went into a pretty intense drop off into the sea, and took the houses with it. All together I would say this was a great start to what will hopefully be an awesome four weeks here in Denmark.

     Today we are leaving for Denmark, we will be staying there for four weeks! Woo! To get back to Denmark we have to ride the Ferry back for about four hours. This is probably going to be my last post for a while, because I'm pretty sure the place we are staying at does not have internet, but who knows, maybe it does. Well, we are gonna leave soon, I'd better finish packing!

     Everything we have been doing for the last few days has been pretty much the same.  Wake up, some people go fishing, some stay home and just relax and enjoy the view, and we go shopping in Farsund.  Pretty normal stuff for a vacation in Norway.  Today we went on a hike, for like 3 hours.  It was really cool, the different views we got to see were gorgeous.  Along the trail we found a little pool ish thing, and we were really thirsty, so Marie, Niels and I got in (we stood on the rocks) and it was really cool.  All in all, its been a sweet vacation so far.
