Denmark Day 6

Day 6: Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a Xanga update! hehe. Still quiet in Denmark, but not as quiet as yesterday. Lots of families with children with their new toys walking about. Didn't really do much today besides dinner, it has just been a relaxing time. Watched a couple Christmas specials on the BBC which were hysterical, gotta love British comedy! and in one instance we were "lucky" enough to catch a Danish Christmas Eve extravaganza type show...let me tell you, the choreographed break dancing/disco Santas really pushed it over the edge into fabulously bad. hehe. There have got to be a dozen churches in the vicinity of dad's apartment, you can hear beautiful bells every hour or so. The 8:00 ones are actually dad's alarm clock! On to dinner. My goodness it was grandiose. I wore a tie and everything, really pish posh restaurant. Mom had a 4 course meal and they brought new silverware for each meal and explained everything that was prepared on the dishes as they presented them. It was really high class. Dad, Em, and I had Lobster Bisque and Veal, and those dishes with Mom's 4 course meal and our drinks costs a little under 3200 Kroner...which is almost $550! Wow!!! Water is not free in Denmark, and you have to order it "still" because the default choice is carbonated or "sparkling". It was just an unreal dinner. It even lasted 3 hours! We are currently watching the Dallas Cowboys take on the Philadelphia Eagles in Danish. The commentary is really funny. Lots of Danish with "touchdown" and "incomplete pass" and other phrases in English snuck in. They scream at every exciting play, so much funnier in Danish than in English. hehe. We plan on resuming some site seeing tomorrow and actually taking a train out of the major city. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!!
