Arhus is a very, very, very fine hus

Oops, it's been a while since my last post. But don't fret I didn't take a plunge into the worlds largest fjord while in Norway and haven't quite been blown off the face of the earth yet by the wind here in Denmark.

Norway was everything everyone said it would be: expensive and beautiful. Kenny rented us a car and we settled into a routine of driving - with my expert navigation skills- walks and hikes, picnics, ferry rides, and camping. Our $5 cups of coffee were enjoyed in short city stop overs and we made the most of peanutbutter and nutella sandwiches while taking in the magnificent views along the long winding roads through the country.

I have been enjoying plenty of authentic Danish's, sipping coffee and having my hair blown crazy much like the blades of the wind turbines that are scattered all over the country. I have been hanging out in Arhus, Denmark for the past couple of weeks. Getting to know the city streets, riding free (though worthless) city bikes, and contemplating life back in the States... which has been a bit unsettling. It should interesting though and I am ready to return to Portland, and rock climing.

I still have one last hurrah though and am headed to London for the weekend to meet up with my friend from my Nepal trek. She has it all planned out, I can't wait!
