Well I left for Copenhagen from DC at 5:15 on Scandinavian Air. It was a great flight. No turbulence, great service, and plane food that didn't taste like regurgitated bird food. Win/win situation.
Lose situation, Margaret and I got no sleep whatsoever. zippo. zilch. cerooooo.
One of my weaknesses is that I cannot sleep unless I am lying horizontal. It is truly my Achille's heel. So I have been awake for the past 24 hours. DIS is holding us at their offices until our bus leaves at 5 for Hillerod. So I arrived in Copenhagen at 7:15 AM and have been here since. For the past couple of hours, we have been hanging out with other folkenhojskole people exploring the area around DIS. Lucky for us, DIS is located in the heart of Copenhagen so we have had a fun time exploring....until the torrential downpour. Being the handy, dandy explorer that I am, I had an umbrella on hand. Margaret....was not so lucky.
So we arrived somewhat cute for our Danish compadres and now we look like drowned, sleep deprived cats. NOT A PRETTY IMAGE. We ended up stumbling in a restaurant called "Tight," owned by a French, Canadian, and Australian. Our Aussie friend treated us to a nice Danish meal. I ordered a $25 hamburger (ridiculous, thank you for being expensive Denmark)! However, it was the best hamburger I have EVER had, so it was worth the 130 kroners I paid for it. I wish I took a picture but I was too busy wringing my clothes out.
After our yummy first dining experience in Denmark, we went walking and then kind of got lost and then found our way again. DIS is going be having some intense orientation sessions the next few days so hopefully I will get the hang of Copenhagen soon. So far, so good :) Except for the jet lag. I am honestly seeing cross-eyed.
