Copenhagen-
Dick woke up feeling quite a bit better than he had for the past several days. Hoorah!!!! We did a load of laundry, hung it out on the clothesline (it is amazing how quickly one gets used to hanging out and taking in the laundry). Then, with a picnic lunch in hand, we set off for the Frilandsmuseet (English: The Open Air Museum) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frilandsmuseet
This is a lovely museum with nearly 100 historical buildings primarily housing and farm buildings that have been moved to this land site just outside of Copenhagen. We spent a really nice day seeing windmills, riding in a horse-drawn wagon, and poking around inside these wonderful old homes, mostly from the 1700’s and 1800’s. It was a totally warm, sunny and great day to be out enjoying this place. Very nice!
We had hoped to get in a canal tour, but didn’t get to do that. But we did ride along the road that goes down along the ocean. Nice!
For dinner, we took Willy and Karin to a lovely local restaurant where we all really enjoyed a delicious dinner. They have fed us all week, and we were pleased to be able to return a bit of the hospitality. Dick did quite well, but was very tired by the end of dinner. This bug has been rough!
After dinner coffee was served in the garden, where Patti Willy and Karin had the joy of watching some Night Light flowers pop into bloom in the twilight. These were so much fun. It was like watching timelapse photography, but it was happening in real time. You could literally watch these flowers open up. The joy of sharing plant names continues on.
We are now getting very soon to the end of our time with Will and Karin. They have been such wonderful hosts and we will miss them. We all hope very much that we will meet again, either in Denmark or in California, or maybe elsewhere. We have in common many places that we would love to travel. We have already proven that we live very well tighter. What a blessing to find these dear relatives.
We remembered that it was the 4th of July, and Patti brought out the American flags she had brought along for just this occasion. We had a little celebration. Yah!
