This is gonna be a quick blog but with amazing information in it ;)
We have been in Århus (pronounced ar-hus) for 2 days now and we will leave tomorrow. So far we love it here. My (Amanda's) Aunt Mary recommended this city since she was here previously. We decided to come to a smaller city rather than Copenhagen because we just got done with big city Berlin and wanted a little bit different of a feel- it was a great choice. The money here is in 500,100, 50 kroner paper bills and the rest is in coins (50, 20, 10, 5, 1, .50). The public transportation was really expensive but they have bikes that you put a 20 Kroner in and its free to take off the lock. The only thing is to get your money have you have to return it to a designated spot. So FREE BIKES! they are clunkers but they work magically! We have rode our bikes everywhere. our host lives about 3 miles out of the main city so there and back each day - at least. We have wandered around downtown (looks alot like Heidelburg germany) and along the canal. Tomorrow we are going to hit up the old town which was recommended to us. Everyone here speaks english, Kyle and my joke is that even the bums speak 3 languages and I only speak one......eeekk haha
Our host is really nice, a social worker (has three jobs). We went to the store and bought some noodles and bread to save money and havent been eating out very much to try to keep from spending money.
The weather here is like 50's and goes between being overcast and sunny all day. today it got cold on us and started raining so that was a little cold on a bike but it beats walking in the rain.
It was nice riding the Eurail over here because Germany and Denmark both use Wind mills to generate electricity. We have kinda realized how much the US is missing out on, examples would be the wind power and the bikes, easy and it makes sense - also helps out the people!
Kyle and I have realized that everyone in Denmark is beautiful and very kind. Sign me up! We leave tomorrow morning for Copenhagen we are going to spend a day there and then head on the overnight train to Amsterdam where we will be meeting Amanda's Uncle Joe and Aunt Evelyn. Exciting stuff.
No new food adventures in denmark but we are about to go out to eat so maybe in our next blog we will have some to talk about.
We will post a link to our denmark pictures on this blog once we are in Amsterdam. So stay tuned and come back and look later.
Here's the link to our itinerary: Eurotrip let us know if it doesnt work!

Peace my loves!
