Mountain Jam


my view from the bus the second day of our study trip
they have the bathroom AND an extra door on the buses here...so great
The streets of Jolling, a small town with a castle. Actually very important but still tiny.


farmer's market
the castle is on top of a hill
Julie

the view was splendiferous


Guin and Alyssa
Jesse and Clair
Castle and Crowd

Christian IV, the king who built all the coolest stuff in Denmark

a decree from the king stating that danish citizens, while at war with the british, were free to take anything they wanted from British people at any time. That's what the swoosh-circle-thing is. Just take everything.
self
aaaaand of course it burned down like alot of other important buildings in Denmark so here's the obligatory "artist's rendition"

our eccentric tour guide standing in the first protestant chapel in denmark
which was later turned into a bakery
the King's personal Bible from 1547
castle innards

they had random statues to spice it up






the way out




the crew headed down to lunch
pass
Tori



sarah, tori, alyssa and myself at the Umbrella Cafe, which was ridiculously great and cheap
mmm
the interns presiding over our trip flirting shamelessly (they broke up by the end of the trip we think)
the streets of Odense


the home of TV2 Denmark
used to be a slaughterhouse, now its a huge tv channel (by danish standards)








this is the set for their Sportscenter-ish show


the staff had ping-pong games going and rode around on these little scooters which were electric
new offices, new desks




the host of the 4'oclock national news in Denmark, he was real cool and put us on the show for a quick sec at the end


our original roomates were bro-centric so we (Myself and Jessie) roomed with these ladies for the last night.


More soon from day THREE
