Arriving in Denmark

I have now been in Denmark for 2 days. I have already met a lot of wonderful people. My first host family has a very large house right in the center in town. They are very nice and have three kids one of which lives at home. The flight to Denmark was quite long but I was seated next to very nice people.

After I landed in Denmark I was greeted by my second host family as my first family was on vacation. That night we had pizza and barbeque as we watched the Denmark handball team lose to Croatia.

On Sunday I went to my first host family's house they had the whole family over for dinner. We enjoyed great steak and drank coffee.

Today I had bread for breakfast and was able to practice my trumpet! My host family said that their cousin plays euphonium and is a part of a brass band that I could join. We also had frikadeller (Danish meatballs) they were delicious!

Tomorrow we plan on going to Aarhus which is the second largest city in Denmark. We will look at an apartment for my host brother. Right now I'm having the time of my life!
