Water

Water water everywhere, but I just can't seem to get wet.

After dropping Pete off at bornhave the other day I rode on over to the University here in Odense to check out their pool. Its the biggest one I've ever seen, and the sign said that they would be open on Lordag (Saturday) klokken 9. So, nice and early Saturday morning we got on our bikes, rode on over, and saw that they had put a slip of paper over the Lordag part of the sign. So Annoying! Especially after you've gotten the kid all excited.


On a more pleasnat note, here are some far off views of big belt or Storebaelt - the bridge from our island of Funen, to Zealand (Copenhagen's island). Engineers and construction workers amaze me (sometimes).




Rich kinda bursted my bubble last night. He said that (he's heard that) May can be quite nice, but there's no gaurantee that June, July, and so on will be as nice. So, I guess we have to go out an enjoy it while we can. Even so, sitting out on our deck in the glaring sunlight still isn't what I'm quite looking for. So yesterday we went out on a little shopping quest for two things...a push mower and a deck umbrella. Bauhaus (basically Home Depot) came through on the mower, but it took two more stores to find a decent umbrella. Shopping for these *special* items is still a bit of a challenge for us since only a number of stores will take our US credit card - or even our Danish one for that matter.
