We made it to Arhus, Denmark on September 9. We walked around the city and then made it to the open-air museum. The museum had 75 half-timbered houses brought to Arhus from all over Denmark.
Just as we were about to leave we found stilts! We couldn't resist so we tried them out.
Surprisingly I did kind of get the hang of it, but it took a while. Andrew and I had a race and Andrew's strategy paid off. He took huge steps and then would fall and keep going, instead of my strategy, which was taking small steps, and not falling off as often. Here is a look at Andrew goofing off.
September 10 we took it easy. We are both sick with colds and it was really rainy so our outing consisted of going to sit by the bay and walking by the canals. Even though it was grey, the scenery was still beautiful.
... especially sick bicky (I don't know how to spell that made up word... any ideas Dad?) Andrew.
Here is a picture of the city of Arhus.
Afterwards we went to get groceries. We thought we would treat ourselves and get some aged cheese, we even looked up what 'aged' was in Danish; we thought we were so smart. When we got back home and were ready to feast, I opened the cheese and the air became polluted by the most awful smell. It smelled like sweaty feet, worse than blue cheese! The smell was so bad we couldn't eat it, actually I wouldn't even try it.
Now we are going to Copenhagen for a few days and we will not be experimenting with cheese!
oh my goodnwss...less than one month until you are home (well almost, it says one month and 2 hours now but I am not going to wait up to post in two hours hahaha). Looks like you two mastered the stilts! very impressive!
