Two Months

I have just moved in with my second family and I'm loving it! I do however miss my first family a lot and hope to see htem often as they were very influential in my first two months here. My current family has a son but he is in Conneticut on exchange through Rotary. So I'm the only child and have been getting used to that.

Last weekend was my last weekend with my first family so we went to Ebletoft which is just north of Aarhus. I really enjoyed seeing it because it is such an old town and the scenery is amazing. On our way there we stopped at Kalø Slotsruin which is a castle ruin from 1313.  It was great to see all that history and be with my host family.

School has been going very good and I'm begining to do things with my class mates. Last Thursday I went to Aarhus to see a concert with a friend from school. Earlier that day my class participated in a music festival that made it on national TV! Today my family took me to the second highest point in Denmark which is called Himmelbjerget (Picture above) which translates to "Sky Mountain." The view is not very high but it is beautiful. I plan to go to Copenhagen on Wednesday with another exchange student named Carlos from Ecuador. Right now Denmark is on Autumn break so tommorrow I will be going to a friends house for a party as well as Tuesday night. Two weeks ago two friends from my class took me to Aarhus to buy clothes to look like a Dane I hope that is one thing I don't lose when I go back to the US.

These past two weeks have been quite busy and each day my Danish is improving and I'm falling more and more in love with Denmark!
