A lot of pictures

The calcium pills I take are these huge plastic pills, of which I'm supposed to take 6 daily. I consider myself lucky if I take 4. But I remembered to take it this morning, and it got lodged in my throat. I wasn't choking, but it was hella uncomfortable and I seriously contemplated throwing myself against the back of my chair. But I decided against it and asked my host mom what to do since she's a nurse. She gave me Pepsi so the gas would help it up or down, and I was as good as new. It's amazing what carbonation can do.

This past weekend was my short study tour. Each of the programs have specific trips that they go on throughout the area, and I went to Jylland (Jutland, the part of Denmark connected to Germany). We stopped by a naval base, Odense (Hans Christian Andersen's hometown), Sønderberg (border of Germany and Denmark), and Ribe (Denmark's oldest town, the first founded by the Vikings).

There are torpedoes behind those doors.

Just like in the movies. The lone flipswitch.

We took this picture when our guide turned around. That Danish control room is MINE.

1. Out of Space exhibit in Odense. The museum was of modern art and it was built in 1987, so it sucked. But I liked this.
2. Streets of Odense.
3. Just enjoying my cinnamon bun as I get into the SmartCar.




1. Pee pot with the faces of two brothers who were considered traitors. So the people peed on their faces. 2. Sønderberg Slot (Castle) 3. Danish kid biking. They're everywhere and everyone in my group freaked out at the opportunity to catch one in action. It was crazy. 4. Grand Hall of Sønderberg Slot






1. The Queen who lived here built her own chapel, which Martin Luther wrote about as being the way a chapel should be. That's his opinion, I guess. But it was enchanting. John14:6-7 2. The chapel's ceiling and organ. 3. One of the first editions of the Bible in the commoner's language (German). 4. Getting schooled at Sønderberg Slot.






1. Gammeldansk. It's a tradition to go out to the dikes that prevent the country from flooding and taking shots of this nasty drink. I felt like an old fisherman after a little shot. 2. A little pier in Ribe. 3. All the houses in Ribe looked like this. 4. The river crossing where the Vikings killed a bishop.







1. Hotel Dagmar. The oldest hotel in Denmark. 2. From the top of the town tower. 3. The altar of the oldest church in Denmark. 4. Beautiful. Yea it's the same old church in Denmark. It's where Christianity started in the country.




This part's just for you Nay. Look, I have friends. haha . 1. The guy with the finger was wasted beyond waste. This is the only picture I have where his eyes are open 2. My head's covering a boob on the poster. Scandalous Europeans. 3. My trip buddy from Nepal. He kept trying to talk like Borat. weird. 4. The guy in the middle's name is Egil. Rhymes with bagel. I thought that was interesting. Oh and he's balding at the age of 21/22.
