In Denmark

We arrived in Denmark this morning about 9:00 am. Our friend Lise Hansen picked us up a bit later.

It is overcast/sunny/occasional showers here in Birkerod, a suburb of Copenhagen.

I have nothing new or deep to say. We are both tired because of the time change. The fight left Boston around 4:00 pm. and we got here about 3 am body clock time, both with an hour or two of sleep total.

Tonight is Saint Hans Evening when the Danes celebrate midsummer. We will be going to one of the many bonfires throughout Denmark. Lise says that they will be burning a witch (a doll) as part of the celebration. Fun.

There was a pretty big crowd when Vincent and I arrived. We got there late thinking that they wouldn’t start the fire until after dark. Well at 10:30 pm the fire had pretty much burned down and it still was light out. Daylight goes from about 4:30 am to 10:00 pm at midsummer.
