We have had such an amazing time while living in Denmark and traveling all around Europe. We were able to reunite with many dear friends and family and make lots of new friends as well. Made some vet friends and horsey friends, spent time with Scott's Danish co-workers, and were even invited to a Danish pig farm so I could see why the Danes are the best pig farmers in the world! We are so grateful and appreciative of all the kindness that has been bestowed upon us. Couldn't have asked for a better experience living abroad.<br />
<br />
We head back to Colorado in one week (December 17th) and I just wanted to post some last pictures from our days living in Denmark. While we are happy to be heading home, it will be a bittersweet goodbye. Denmark and more specifically, Vejle, will always hold a place in our hearts! <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
While spending time in Vejle, I was lucky enough to meet Sara and Mette,
2 equine veterinarians. Not only did they include me in some ride-alongs and teach me lots about equine sports medicine, but they also
introduced me to Siri. Siri and her husband Nis own a farm outside of
Vejle and have Icelandic riding horses and dairy cows. It is here that I
spent many days being outside with the animals that I love most! Below are some of my happy memories from Siri and Nis's beautiful farm.<br />

Thank you Mette and Sara for teaching me a lot about life and veterinary medicine and for inviting me on so many veterinary calls. Thank you Siri and Nis for welcoming me onto your farm and letting me spend SO much time there! And thank you also to Siri for teaching me to ride Icelandic horses- something that everyone should try! It is sure to put a smile on anyone's face! <br />
<br />
<br />
Another 2 people who really made our time Denmark special were Lasse and Pernille! Lasse is one of Scott's coworkers at Siemens and Pernille is his wife. They have had us over for several most delicious meals (Lasse is pretty much a world class chef!), taught us to make some traditional Danish foods, and most of all have always been there for us whenever we needed help with ANYTHING! Thank you for always being there for us!<br />
<br />
These are aebleskiver- basically little Danish pancake balls that you eat with sugar and jam. Delicious! <br />

The next 5 pictures are from some short runs and walks around the farm lands and forest in and around Vejle. They are from a couple months back when the weather was warmer. We will miss all this green when we go back to Colorado!<br />

And lastly, a few pics from our Danish Thanksgiving. We are so grateful that Anita and Roger (Scott's parents) were able to join us, plus 3 of Scott's coworkers- Christian, Lasse and Stephan. We could not find a turkey so we had duck instead. It was delicious! And so was Lasse's Pear and Marzipan pie pictured below. </div>

Oh and one more thing, I have so enjoyed being able to visit my Grandma TWICE while being over here. I had a great time getting lots of quality time with her and being able to hear all about her life long before I arrived in it. Here she is below drinking tea, riding her scooter and saying goodbye to me at the train station! <br />

<br />
Barcelona- city of beautiful Mediterranean beaches, amazing architecture, delicious food and a beautiful language (Catalan). I have always wanted to go back to Barcelona since I briefly visited their on a high school graduation trip and Scott had never been there. So, we convinced his parents (Roger and Anita) to make a family trip out of it. <br />
We arrived late in the night on Thursday, but woke up to a beautiful sunny day on Friday morning.<br />

We had to start the day off right with some of Roger's Dakota Maid pancakes! This is the lovely view from our balcony- great pick Anita! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After our bellies were full of pancakes, we jumped on the metro and headed to Park Guell. This is one of Gaudi's (famous Spanish architect) many masterpieces. It's basically a big park/garden with lots of funky architectural accents. The weather was so beautiful and we had a great time just exploring and seeing all the colorful tiles. </div>

After exploring Park Guell, we meandered through the streets of Gracia (a hip part of the city with some funky shops and restaurants). Of course it was siesta time- 4pm- so everything was closed. We then headed on to La Sagrada Familia.<br />
<br />
La Sagrada Familia is a beautiful church designed by Gaudi. Building began in 1882 and is still not completed. It is supposed to be finished in 2026 and will then be the tallest church building in the world. <br />

The next day we did a night trip to Casa Batllo- another of Gaudi's creations. It was an apartment building that he redesigned in 1904. It is also known as Casa dels Ossos (House of Bones) because the outside of the building and many parts inside look like bones joined together. After exploring, Anita and Roger took us out for a delicious meal of tapas and sangria.<br />

They even had Italian truffles. As we learned while visiting Tuscany, white truffles are very valuable. They were in a glass case here and being sold for 2400 Euros!! </div>

And my favorite activity of all, Flamenco dancing! It was Anita's idea to see a performance and we stumbled upon this small place offering a night show. There was live music that really reminded of the Gipsy Kings and a male and female dancer. See the video above. Of course, it was WAY better in person. Plus, the show came with a free glass of sangria : ) </div>

<br />
Scott and I had been meaning to catch up with his friends (Phillip and Johannes) from Aachen, Germany while we were living in Europe. We were able to visit with them briefly at Johannes and Eve's wedding back in October, but you know how weddings go- lots of family and friends to visit with so we didn't see too much of them. So, we planned a weekend get together in Bremen, Germany- conveniently located halfway between Aachen and Vejle. We rented an apartment for the 7 of us (Phillip and his wife Anna, their 1 year old son Hanno, Johannes and his wife Eve, and Scott and I) and spent the weekend exploring Bremen and catching up on life over delicious German beer. It was wonderful to spend time with them and explore another new German town. <br />
<br />
Here are some pictures from our visit: <br />

Montisi is a beautiful little town nestled in the gorgeous rolling hills Tuscany surround by lots of vineyards and olive oil farms. We timed our visit perfectly with the annual Olive Oil Festival- where all the local farmers sell their olive oil from the most recent harvest. It is the most fresh, vibrant green olive oil I have ever tasted/seen. I could live off this stuff!!<br />
<br />
Scott and I spent Thursday exploring Pisa and taking a quick trip to the Leaning Tower. We were immediately happy upon waking up to find a gorgeous, sunny day. It was probably 75 ' F, a very welcome break from the cold, wet, rainy Denmark. Pisa was a really nice city and there were lots of people walking and biking about.<br />
<br />
Thursday night we arrived in Montisi and got settled at Walt and Suzanne's place. They had some other friends visiting from Naples. Dave and Lisa, and their 2 kids Devon and Dayli. We all spent the weekend eating copious amount of pici (hand rolled noodles) with meat ragu sauce, sampling all different olive oils and drinking lots of local wine. Scott and I would leave during the days in our rental car and drive to nearby villages to explore and do some shopping. It was a perfect weekend with wonderful company and gorgeous weather! <br />
<br />
Here are some of the pictures from our trip:<br />

I have known Megan Eberhard since we were little munchkins spending way too much time rolling around in the dirt together. A very large chunk of my childhood was spent living at Megan's house, swimming in her pool, riding horses around her neighborhood and having sleepover parties in her horse barn! <br />
<br />
Megan had a one week break between quarters of her MBA program @ Vanderbilt. So we planned a quick but action packed trip to explore Munich, Berlin and Copenhagen. We walked everywhere, ate more German cuisine than one should ever consume, stayed in fun hostels and met lots of new international friends. <br />
<br />
Here are some the pictures from our adventure! <br />

<br />
Scott here- my second vacation of our stay in Europe was a long road trip to Munich and back. On the way, we made several stops; one night in Hamburg, two days in Amsterdam, one day in Munich for Oktoberfest, and one day in Aachen for Johannes and Eve's wedding, and then back to Vejle! A whopping 3000 km.<br />

<b>- Hamburg</b><br />
First was a night in Hamburg with my friend/coworker Drew and another coworker named Ruben. The drive down was very nice with my first real experience on the autobahn! Here it is nice to have the Audi to keep up with the other Audis, BMWs, and Mercedes on the road. Broke my personal speed record, reaching 220km/hr (135 mph). And the car drove as smooth as it does at 60 mph. Driving on the autobahn is lots of fun and thrills when there isn't much traffic. Little did I know at the time, I would soon come to hate the German highway system.<br />
<br />
Once in Hamburg, we checked into our downtown hostel and explored the city. Mostly walked around near the river, drank some beers, and ate some delicious and cheap (by Denmark standards) food.<br />

Later that night we went and explored <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reeperbahn">Reeperbahn</a>, which is the central location for the city's party scene including restaurants, bars, strip clubs, a famous police station that drunk tourists were peeing on, legal prostitutes, illegal prostitutes, lots of tourists, and some local German drunks. One drunk was very helpful helping us to find a place to eat, we gave him our empty beer glasses as a thank you. Anyway, its a city with lots of "character" :) We mostly walked around the area enjoying the luxury of drinking beer on the streets. At one point, our beers became empty so we decided to run back to the 7eleven to pick up a few more. Without thinking, we jaywalked across the street for the most direct route back to the store. Halfway across I saw 3 police officers waving us over to them. I was thinking, "Ah crap, here we are in city of sin jaywalking across a street lined with prostitutes and we are going to get a jaywalking ticket." Once I told the German officer, "Ich spreche nicht gut Deutsche, sprechen Sie Englisch?", he was super friendly. And kindly explained that it is illegal to drink out of glass on Reeperbahn after 8pm. It was 8:15pm. Then we confirmed that we can drink beer from a can just not from a bottle and went on our merry way without a ticket!<br />
<br />
<br />
Needless to say, the next morning was a bit slow. We walked around the city and visited the <a href="http://www.miniatur-wunderland.com/">Miniatur Wunderland </a>museum. It was totally cool and would recommend a visit. Here are some pics!<br />

Later in the day, I drove to Amsterdam to meet up with Jessica and her family: Sophie, Bill, and Mei. There we walked around the city, ate some delicious food, took a nice canal tour, and visited the Anne Frank museum.<br />

<b>- Drive to Munich</b><br />
The drive to Munich gets its own chapter in this blog post because it was horrible. The first two days of driving on the autobahn was great. Fast moving and poor gas mileage. This day's drive took us 11 hours with 1.5 hours at a complete stop on the autobahn. My love affair with the German highways is now over! <br />

<b>- Munich Oktoberfest</b><br />
But the crappy drive was worth it! We (Scott, Jess and Sophie) met up with our Colorado friends, Tim and Lara, late Wednesday. Caught up with them over several delicious beers in preparation for the next day. We woke up early, had some breakfast at a bakery, and got to Oktoberfest at 9:30am to stake out our table. See the photos below! We ended up staying at that single table until 11:00pm. That is 13.5 hours of drinking 1 liter beers, and it was a blast! We met up with Bill and Mei, my friend Chris and his coworker from Colorado, my Bavarian friend Andi, my friend Kito who is in the Army stationed in Germany, and my friend Pete who is biking around southern Europe. So random and so glad everyone was able to meet up!<br />

<b>- Johannes and Eve's Wedding</b><br />
The morning after an all day drinking event was a bit slow moving, but we managed. After meeting Bill and Mei for lunch and dropping off Sophie with them, Jess and I made the 9 hour drive back up north to Aachen, Germany. We went to my good friend's wedding, Johannes and Eve. It was a great day, the ceremony was held in the Netherlands and the reception took place 30 km away back in Germany. Check out the pictures below!<br />

The morning after the "late" night of partying, we took off to head back to Denmark. I say "late" because Jessica and I only lasted until 2am while the rest of the wedding-goers made it till 5am. The whole trip was a great vacation but far from relaxing; lots of driving, drinking, and late nights. Now we need some serious recovery time :)<br />

Jessica is visiting her Gran in England this week, so I thought I would give an update this time! This is a bit of a hodge-podge post since it includes some not-so-recent weekend trips.<br />
<br />
<b>Kayak Silkeborg</b><br />
The 2nd weekend we were in Denmark, the sun was out bright and it was going to be a very nice weekend. So we decided to take advantage by going kayaking in Silkeborg, about an hour's drive from Vejle. We rented a two-person kayak for the day and went to explore the seemly endless connection of river and lakes. Here are some photos from the day.<br />

<b>Weekend trip to Skagen</b><br />
Skagen (pronounced Skay-in) is the northern most town in Justland region of Denmark. It is actually quite a fascinating region that includes a very pointy beach, a strange and very large moving sand dune, lots of fishing, and some nice shops and restaurants. We stayed in a campground on the beach about 10k south of Skagen. The camping in Denmark is a quite unique, the camping spots are very orderly with well-kept hedges separating the spots. Since we didn't bring camping gear to Denmark, we ended up renting a small cabin for the night.<br />
<br />
The pointy beach is a result of two seas (North Sea and Straits of Denmark) actually coming together. You can actually see the waves crashing together.<br />
<br />
The moving sand dune, <span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span dir="auto">RÃ¥bjerg Mile, was quite fascinating. </span></span></span>It is the largest moving dune in Northern Europe with an area of around
1 km² (0.4 mi²) and a height of 40 m (130 ft). The wind moves it up to 18 m a year. The dune leaves a low, moist layer of sand
behind it, trailing back westwards towards Skagerrak, where the Mile originally formed more than 300 years ago. Another couple hundred years and it will reach the west coast.<br />

<b>This weekend</b><br />
And here we are on Sunday evening. With Jessica out of town this weekend, I spent much of my time trying to get college football games streaming online. It was a success! My coworker, Drew, came over and we were able to stream the CSU game. And earlier in the day, I stumbled across some US micro-brews in a small kinda-crappy grocery store down the street from us. It is now my favorite grocery store :) Hell, they even had Fort Collins Brewery. That stuff is hard enough to find in the US.<br />

Thanks for reading. Hope all of our friends in the Front Range were able to make it through the tremendous flooding without any harm.<br />

<br />
8/26: Today we awoke to a VERY gray and rainy day, completely opposite of the gorgeous day before. In other words, a perfect day for hitting the road and getting some much needed miles in. Norway is one LONG country! We made our way North, but stopped in Mo i Rana along the way to visit the Gronligrotta cave. It is one of the largest caves in Norway and the only one that has electric lighting throughout the tour. A fantastic activity for a rainy day! Saw some interesting sites, including a river running through the cave. Then we made our way very close to the Arctic circle to stay in a cabin in Bolna, just South of Saltfjellet (Salt Mountain). The cabin we stayed in was part of the Norwegian Hiking Organization. They have cabins in the wilderness all throughout Norway and anyone can stop and sleep in them for a small fee. <br />

Our lunch spot</div>
<br />
8/27-8/29: Left the lovely cabin in Bolna, made a pit stop at the Arctic circle, saw lots of reindeer, and then we were on our way to Bodo. Must say that it was a very rainy visit. Anne and Stig had a work conference to attend in Bodo, so Scott and Lotta and I rented a cabin of our own and did some exploring. The weather was not great but we made the most of it. Got a nice run in, perfectly timed between 2 large rain storms. We also took a drive to visit the Saltstraumen, a small strait with the strongest tidal current in the world. Per Wikipedia: up to 400,000,000 cubic meters of sea water forces its way through a 3 km long and 150 meter wide strait every 6 hours, with water speeds reaching 25mph. Whirl pools form up to 33 feet in diameter and 16 feet in depth when the current is at its strongest!!! Pretty crazy!! We also paid a visit to Bodo's local indoor pool/mini water park. Had a great time lounging in the jacuzzi and racing down the water slide. Just us and the locals!<br />

8/29: Today we head to the much awaited Lofoten Islands. We rode the ferry to Moskenes and then drove to Anne and Stig's home in Stamsund. Was quite the sight coming into the harbor, all the mountains were dark and gray from the storm and they appeared like something out of Jurassic Park! The next 4 nights were a culinary delight with the master chef, Stig. He started us out with the famous Norwegian pizza, Grandiosa! Quite the experience! <br />

8/30: Today we slept in and awoke to a beautiful sunny day. Our adventure of the day was hiking Offersoykammen- aka Ridge on Sacrifice Island! Was a gorgeous hike and I was especially grateful to make it to the top! We also visited some of the small fishing villages around Anne and Stig's town. Then Stig prepared an exquisite leg of lamb with an array of some interesting roots and fried forest mushrooms, picked by Stig on our hike! Scott and I were very impressed! <br />

8/31: Another gorgeous, sunny day on the islands. Today we set off to visit the town of Reine and hike Reinebringen- described in many guide books of the area as the most iconic view of the Lofoten Islands. It was another steep, straight up the mountain kind of hike! Scott kept joking that the Norwegian version of a switch back was a rope hanging down off the mountain! I had a few moments of almost panicking and wanting to turn around... and then... we met the most adorable 85 year old man climbing down the mountain! He was quite chatty and it turned out he had lived in Redondo Beach for 4.5 years when he was younger. Well, that was enough to motivate me to the top!!! Of course, stunning views and a delicious picnic of fresh bread with brown cheese! Stopped in Reine for a little exploring on the way home and had some soft ice (Norwegian soft serve). For dinner, whale steaks grilled by Stig! We were also invited to a party/BBQ at a friend of Anne and Stig's. Met some really nice people and had some good chats about life and travel.<br />

9/1: Our last day and last hike in Lofoten- Hoven, a mountain shaped like a horse hoof! Great hike with nice views of the ocean and fjords. We stopped and had lunch at a gorgeous beach (Rorvik) and then visited the town of Henningsvaer- an old, little fishing town. Then we stopped by Anne and Stig's new house (they are moving in at the end of September) in Eltoft at Steinfjord. Their new house is close to a famous surfing beach, Unstad, so we visited there too. Very unique to see a surfing beach right at the bottom of all these small farms and in between mountains! For dinner... the much awaited lutefisk with mushy peas + bacon + akevit (special Norwegian alcohol made especially for drinking with lutefisk) + cloud berries/whipped cream for dessert. Lutefisk is definitely one of the most unusual things we have ever eaten! It involves taking the previously dried atlantic cod, soaking it in lye and water several times, then heavily salting it to draw out that water, and then baking it in the oven. Strange but wonderful! You will have to try it for yourself to understand : )<br />

I met Anne 6 years ago while doing a veterinary externship and we became instant international buddies. Her and her boyfriend Stig have both visited me in CA (even stayed with my parents) and I have visited them in Norway, working on a goat farm with Anne during the summer of 2008. Then in 2010, Scott and I joined Anne and Stig (and some of Scott'sGerman friends) on a Scottish road trip/ World Cup pub watching adventure. So, of course Scott and I knew we had to plan a visit to Norway while we were living in Denmark.<br />

We have so many beautiful pictures from this trip so will make it into 2 posts.<br />

Aug 19-22: The trip started out when Anne and Lotta (Anne and Stig's Alaskan Husky) picked me up at the Oslo airport. I was greeted with a big hug and some wonderful news---Anne and Stig are having a baby!!! So happy for them and can't wait to meet my 3rd favorite Norwegian in the world! From there we headed to her parent's mountain cabin in Budalen (near Geilo- a small ski town). Anne's parents Olav and Bjorg took such great care of us for 3 days. Their cozy cabin is tucked away in the mountains, surrounded by sheep and cows and cloud berries (delicious berry that looks similar to a raspberry but tastes quite different). It was wonderful to go hiking right from the front door of the cabin, and just relax in the sun and mountain fresh air. </div>

While staying at the cabin, Anne and I took a day trip to Flam, the town where the goat farm we worked on is located. Flam is a gorgeous little town at the end of the longest and deepest fjord in Norway (3rd longest in the world). We stopped by the goat farm (very nostalgic, just as I remembered it from 5 years ago!) and visited Sturle and Geidt (owners of the goat farm) and they invited us over for lunch. Then we made a pit stop in Undredal, small town famous for their brown goat cheese. Has anyone else tried the Scandinavian brown cheese? It is AMAZING!! Kind of like eating a block of savory dulce de leche!</div>

Aug 22: Anne and Lotta and I hit the road. We visited some lovely towns on our journey. First stop was Laerdal, an area known for growing fruits. We bought some road side plumbs! Then we stopped at Jostedal glacier. My pictures don't really do it justice at all. The glacier was so white with blue streaking from the sky, and the water rushing down it was this crazy powder-blue color. We stayed the night with a vet school classmate of Anne's in Styrn. </div>

Aug 23: Today we did a LOT of driving. Started out taking a very long, but very scenic detour over an old mountain road. Saw beautiful views of glacier lakes and tundra. We then drove down some extremely steep, ridiculously windy roads (one road is even called the troll's ladder) down to the famous Geiranger fjord. We eventually made it to Kristiansund, where a wonderful home cooked meal was waiting for us at Anne's former bosses' house (Hans Kristian and his wife, Mojca). Stig joined us here! I will always say that NOTHING beats traveling with locals! They know where to go, what to do, how to do it cheap, and you can always count on their many friends cooking delicious meals for you and putting you up in their cozy homes. I am so thankful to all the wonderful people who made us great food and gave us somewhere warm and comfortable to sleep! </div>

Aug 24: Scott joins us today! We picked him up at Trondheim airport and then hit the road. We had to change our plans here a bit because of the weather. Since the rain was coming in a few days, we drove further today so we could do a nice hike the next day while the sun was out. Drove many hours and then eventually found a wonderful camping spot on a small beach at a lake in Nordland county. We had the beach all to ourselves and had an American feast of cheese burgers and beer!</div>

Aug 25: Day of the Sisters! Drove a couple more hours today and made it to the Seven Sisters, seven continuos mountain peaks that are popular for hiking. We hiked the Northern most peak, Botnkroner. She is 1,072 meters (3,650 feet for you Americans) and 12.4 km. The hike took us 9 hours, well, really it took me 9 hours. Anne, Stig and Scott could have finished much quicker! Many parts of the hike involved climbing very steep rocks and even using a rope to pull yourself up and down. I was on all 4's for the steepest parts near the top. I only made it to 1000 meters because the last bit at the top scared me to death! Couldn't have made it even that far without the help of Scott, Anne and Stig- always there to help pull up some giant boulder! Although I am slow and apparently very afraid of heights, I am still very proud of myself for accomplishing this adventure! One memorable part of the hike was meeting this very fit, young Norwegian woman who crossed our path going up the mountain, as she was on her way down from hiking all SEVEN of the sisters. That woman is my hero! She climbed all 7 peaks in 2 hours longer than I did one! She was kind of enough to tell us that we choose the longest and tallest sister to do. The views of the fjords, ocean and many islands around us were stunning and well worth the burning I felt in my thighs, calves, buns and triceps (from "crabbing" my way down!) the next day!!! That night we stayed in a cabin and ate a delicious reindeer stew for dinner. </div>

At 1000 meters, this is where I said "hell no" and stopped! The others continued and I waited, cautiously clinging to the nearest rock. They even tried to tempt me to keep going with food. You know I'm really scared when even food motivation doesn't work!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hej (meaning and pronounciation the same as "hi")from Vejle, Denmark! Scott and I are officially settled into our little apartment on Lille Bjerggade street : ) Accomodations are better than expected, but our apartment is still decorated for a 90 year old lady. All the basic amenities including a washer and dryer which I have NO idea how to use because instructions are all in Danish. Already had several trips to the grocery store which have been a complicated guessing game of trying to decide what is what. Perhaps it's a good idea to invest in a pocket Danish-English dictionary! Living above us in the apartment building are 3 young Dutch guys who are pilots, working at the nearby Billund airport. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We have done a little exploring of the town of Vejle- a cute little coastal town (well, actually, pretty much everything in Denmark is considered coastal). There are approx. 54,000 people living in this little town at the end of the Vejle Fjord, on the Jutland Peninsula. Lots of cute little shops and restaurants. Our place is just a 3 minute walk to downtown, which is mostly centered around a pedestrian outdoor walking mall. Went out to eat on the first night here because we were both tired from long plane rides. I quickly learned why people don't go out to eat here very often- was ~$70 for 2 burgers and 3 beers. And Scott said that was a pretty good deal for Denmark! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I visited Scott's work last week. Very large and impressive campus- all dedicated to Siemens wind energy. Tons of buildings, loads of employees and a pretty sweet cafeteria with a steady supply of free fruit! Quite secure too- even I had to get a special visitor badge just to eat in the cafeteria! Some of Scott's coworkers invited us for a trip to the shooting range. Did not expect to be shooting guns in Denmark, but why not?!? There were 10 of us in total and we all went out for pizza and beer afterwards. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then on the weekend, another Siemen's employee, Carston, invited us sailing. He is quite a character and has recently moved into a church which he is remodeling (all by himself) into a proper home. We went sailing in Middlefart (fart means speed in Danish..hehe). Was a beautiful day and lots of excitement because the International Sailing Finals were going on. Lots of different countries were participating from all over the world. I actually met some of the guys on the American team on my flight to Billund- very small world because they are originally from Redondo Beach and Long Beach. Anyways, drinking beer and sailing is very fun!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Oh, and yesterday I had a driving lesson from Scott and his coworker Drew on how to drive a manual car in a local grocery store parking lot. Went well! Next lesson will be out on the streets- watch out local Vejle drivers!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Things I have learned about Danish people so far:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-very blonde and very tall</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-really like to paint their houses all white</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-walk very fast</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-love Carlsberg beer and ice cream, not together!</div>

Made pancakes from scratch. (thanks to Kayla for the yummy recipe!) Roger and Anita, not as good as Dakota Maid! Cannot find measuring cups in this country so baking is a big guessing game!</div>

So I spent the last 2 weeks in Liberia with Veterinarians Without Borders US (VWB) (http://www.vetswithoutbordersus.org/). We were working under a USAID grant, through EHELD (Excellence for Higher Education in Liberian Development)... mouthful I know! Our mission was to teach a 2 week course on "Ruminant Health and Management" to animal health workers at Cuttington University outside of Gbarnga. For those of you who don't know what ruminants are, shame on you- because they are the coolest animals EVER! Liberia had a horrible, HORRIBLE civil war from about 1989- 2003, which pretty much destroyed everything they had. Partly because of this, their agricultural systems are kind of in shambles. For a country full of lush, green land and many hungry people, they are really under utilizing many possible resources. So, the goal of VWB was to send different teachers to come and teach short courses all dealing with agriculture. VWB's mission statement by the way is "Healthy Animals Sustain a Healthy World". : ) We were actually the last group to go this year, following behind 8 other groups (others taught about poultry disease, swine diseases, land management, transboundary diseases, etc). I went with 4 other people- 2 other veterinarians, 1 veterinary student, and 1 animal science undergraduate student. <br />
Liberia is beautiful! The people are so warm and welcoming. I had a great time teaching this course because I had to understand the material at a whole different level than I had before. And, I conquered my very strong fear of public speaking! Our students were so excited about the material and eager to learn. It is horrible that so many of them were robbed of an education for so long because of the war. However, it is great that they are here now trying to learn and better themselves AND their country. Most of the students were from the ministry of agriculture or NGO agriculture related organizations. <br />
