So today I wanted to wake up early and bike into town to buy some rolls for breakfast. There’s something really satisfying in fetching food and keeping it safe in a bike basket on the ride home. I could tell it was going to be a beautiful day from the start.
Another awesome Danish breakfast, and then we all rode into Hirtshals. The ladies (and Jake) went shopping while the guys checked out the bunker museum. I exchanged some money (yikes, the dollar better get stronger) and bought a necklace, scarf and sweater. While I had been excited to go into Savannah, I’ve either outgrown their fashion or the store has taken a turn for the worse. Either way, I found a nice store. I also bought some King’s Blues after trying Claes’ cigarettes and some postcards for Dad, Kristen, Conor and Nymph.
We ate at a cute restaurant near the center of town called Lilleheden. Funny, I don’t often eat at restaurants in Denmark because my relatives are always providing. But the food was awesome! I cleared my whole plate of smoked salmon sandwich. Mom and I stopped into the book store before we went home. The bike ride was awfully windy and slow this time, and it hasn’t let up.
I fell asleep under a wool blanket and comforter out on the back porch, which is partly nestled into and protected by the dunes. We all (sans Will) went for a walk down to the beach and Lynn and I lagged a bit behind so we could finally have some sister time. It was an easy dinner today, but yummy of course; liverpustai, rollapousa, sunflower bread, some wine, and lots of sugary sweets for dessert. We all talked for awhile after, then mom and I watched a Danish film. It was all right, but it was even nicer spending time with mom.
Now the whole house is creaking with the wind – kind of creepy. Jacob is crying a bit. I wish I could go in there and snuggle him, but it’s a weird balance in whether you should disturb him or let him tire himself out.

Woo! I just beat a computer at chess.

No question, I want to move here.
