Blåvand

Friday the 20th, I went only went to school until noon. I could have left half and hour earlier, but I wanted to eat lunch and play cards with my classmates before they went to German. haha, I don't have to take that class! I took the bus home just to pack a bag and have Lotte (my host mom) take me to the train station. Here I paid 45 kroner for a trip to Kolding. I was going to visit Grace!

When I arrived at Graces house, her host parents packed us up in a car and took us to their summer house which was on the West coast of Jutland. The summer house was huge, and was complete with a jacuzzi. Friday we got situated and watched 'Notting Hill' before going to sleep. Saturday, all four of us put on our warmest clothes and took a walk on the nearby beach called Blåvand (Blue Water). There werea lott of strange seashells on the shore for something called 'Sword Clams' or something. I have never seen them before. After freezing out on the sand, we ran up to the top of a lighthouse and looked at the view. Once we caught our breath we ran back down and went shopping in the town. Amber is found naturally in Denmark so we had to look at some of the stores that stocked it. I think that is something I willdefinitelyy need to buy before I come home. The rest of the weekend we just relaxed with reading, Jacuzzi-ing, and watching movies. It was a really great time, and I enjoyed talking to Grace's host parents.

Yesterday I made chocolate chip cookies for my class. Last time I had Danish my phone rang in the middle of class so the teacher asked me to bring treats as punishment! After they were finished, I watched some Orange County before going to Rotary. Today Rotary took place at a greenery, where we had a really long tour of the flowers and business before finishing it off with sandwiches.
