We headed down to the southern tip of Langeland this past Saturday. We hit the north tip of the island last year, and I have to say, the south tip is completely different.

The northern area had swimming beaches and summer homes. Down south is knobby topography and lots of farmland. The klints (or cliffs) were quite a sight, as were the frolicking "wild" horses (imported from England and not really so wild - an older man said to us). But the amount of birds was just incredible. We constantly saw groups of them flying offshore just above the water, and you could also hear a giant group of them out in the water past eyesight. The weather that day was also extremely still - So still in fact that the morning fog never really went away. Odd for DK. Here is a link.



This past week I made high roast chicken by myself (last time the hubby did it). It really is THE way to cook a chicken. This time around the potatoes were a bit on the greasy side, and I over-cooked the asparagus. But that chicken was YUMMY.


And here is one of the most gorgeous rocks I've ever seen. Too bad the car gets parked a good half-mile from the beach where this thing lives. I've thought about dragging it in my big Mexican blanket, but I think that would look too much like a body. Its hard to tell from the picture but this rock is probably the size of my 5 yr old.
