Denmark--Day 1

I was so excited to spend the weekend in Denmark! My Grandma Paul (for those non-family readers) is from Denmark and has a cousin there, Kirstine, that she only got in touch with about 5 years ago, and I was going to go meet her. I had a super early flight out of Stansted, but I got to Aarhus, which is on the east side of the Jutland (the big part of Denmark), and took the bus up to Randers where Kirstine met me. We went back to her house in Bjerregrav and dropped off my stuff, then headed to her son Morten's house. They were excited to meet me but leaving on holiday the next day, so this was our only opportunity. What a great family! The kids, Louisa (11), Kristine (9) and Patrick (6) were so cute, and even though we couldn't always communicate ourselves (I was soo grateful that Kirstine's english was so good!), but we had fun.
Then, we picked up Kirstine's oldest, Tina, and went home for dinner. I had not realized that Denmark was mostly agriculture, but the country is so beautiful! On the hill across from Kirstine's house, there is a wheat field. After dinner, we hiked up the hill into the woods where we could look over the valley. It is so pretty! I loved it.
