Finally tuckered myself out by playing a ton of computer chess.
A grey rainy day. Cards, some reading, and a Danish film (the name escapes me but it was directed by Susanne Bier I think?)
We rented bikes today! I think mine is a cruiser and I really love riding it. I convinced mom and Will to drive into Hirtshals with me – it only took about 10 minutes (+5 for the quick stop to say hello to some cute cows). We visited Farmor who gave me some sunglasses that were my great-grandmother Abalone’s and they’re awesome.
Tomorrow I have to wake up bright and early to bike to the bakery. I really am so glad we are renting bikes. I feel like a real Dane now and it’s much easier to experience the ambience of Hirtshals. My lungs are finally breathing in the fresh air at full capacity and it smells like green and dew and sea. I postulated that my name meaning meadow may have something to do with my fondness for the wildflowers and rolling hill landscapes. We saw a neat bird that can hover and even showed off, catching a mouse as we were riding by. I thought of Conor because I think his favorite bird is the osprey. Also, I won rummy and the second round of the memory card game. And I can’t believe it’s only Monday. I feel like I’ve been here for days and days, so I’m really glad that I still have so much time left to explore.
