It's been a long time since I have posted anything and I have plenty of photos to show off to the three of you who check this out. Over the past two months the majority of my conversation has either been in French or with someone whose mother tongue is not English and lately I have been finding it difficult to express myself. I know I am just out of practice and should be practicing here, but do to laziness I am just going to post pictures rather than writing anything serious out. The last Sunday that I spent in France I met up with a few friends to watch the Tour de France. This included both new and old au pairs and even my friend Dominique who is studying French this summer with her other classmates from Berkeley. It was so great to catch up with her and it felt great sharing the Tour de France and subsequently dinner afterwards with her and her asian girlfriends.
That Thursday I left for Copenhagen, Denmark to visit one of my dearest friends Maddy and to stay with her at her grandfathers house with her mom and brother, Hayden. It was a much needed week of quiet relaxation with a little bit of sightseeing stuck in the middle. The weather in Denmark is generally colder but the first day I arrived it was nice and warm and we were able to enjoy a bit of the sun the following day at the beach. A bit of geography: Copenhagen is an island of Denmark on the eastern coast. It is the capitol of the country and yet it is only a hour train ride or a ferry boat to Sweden. Apparently it used t be centrally located within the Danish kingdom but when two of it's counties succeeded and became Swedish the capitol was not moved. (We spent a day with a family friend, a danish high school media teacher with a passion for history and previous tourguide experience later on in the week). The beach had incredibly soft sand and beautiful clear water, but it was quite cold and pretty crowded, as it was one of the first sunny days in Denmark so far that summer.
