Liz's European Adventures: Start of the Summer Adventures

I got done with my 2nd semester in late June, had a week off, then will be in summer school and working all of July. There won't be much traveling, but should be some mini-trips throughout Denmark. So these will be some random pictures explained :)

And as a note, my professor that was responsible for getting me to Aarhus (Dr. Mike Shaner from SLU) was teaching in Denmark at the ESSAM Summer School program this past 2 weeks - so it was exciting to see him. Susanne met him and listened to one of his lectures on personality traits, and Anne and I met him for lunch one day (Anne is the Dane who went on exchange to SLU for a semester and had Shaner as a professor, too.)

Where the Danish-American 4th of July celebration is held.

I love this picture

There was a little Indian/pioneer section for kids to play in...my friends were having a nail hammering contest

Go Nebraska!

The flags of the 50 states lined a pathway down into the valley

Where the speakers were - I am glad I went to see what this was like, but it definitely was not what I expected at all. This is the world's largest 4th of July celebration outside of the US, which is kind of cool in itself.

The good group of friends who drove with me to Rebild Bakken for the 4th of July celebration

Sommerhus 2009

At summer houses and in these little garden houses Danes have, they always raise a Danish flag when they are home. The boys are raising Mathias' red swim trunks instead

Pear cider that Chanett and I were experimenting with

A friend we found in the water

I have never seen a) a jelly fish and b) so many in one place. But apparentely these are good ones that don't sting, and they were all over the beach!
