Here, There and Everywhere

Hello from Denmark

Mon, 03 Aug 2009 17:36:27 +1000

Right now we are enjoying a typical Danish summer, meaning my shorts and tanktops are still sitting untouched in my suitcase. I suppose, though, that it's been nice, especially for Morten, to have a respite from the oppressive Beijing heat. Hope everyone is having a great summer. Pictures soon!

Catching up

I have really struggled with keeping this blog updated, but since access to my blogspot seems to have been permanently blocked, I have to figure out a way to make this one work. I am going to post some links to my facebook photos in an effort to catch up. More to come.

Sailing Pictures, Denmark 7.2008

Wed, 24 Sep 2008 03:20:40 +1000

Here are some pictures from the sailing trip I mentioned in my previous post. Don't I look like a pro?

I have also posted this at margieschuh.blogspot.com as a slideshow since I have access, but I will continue to blog here just in case.

First China to Denmark

Wed, 30 Jul 2008 00:18:04 +1000

We are now in Denmark, and Morten and I have successfully completed our first voyage in Lunde, our 33 foot sailboat. We moved it from Augustenborg to Struer in six days and had a great time doing it. In spite of my knowledge about sailing being limited to the fact that you use wind to move the boat across the water and Morten being a very spontaneous mid-crisis teacher, I did okay, even becoming somewhat helpful toward the end of the trip. Pictures will come later as I am updating this from what is becoming my regular computer at the Holstebro Library. The weather here is unexpectedly good (nice weather here is always unexpected to me), and I'm crossing my fingers for it to hold out for the next week or so before we leave.

More Thailand, May 2008

On our way from Phuket to Denmark, we stopped in Bangkok for a day and a half to do some sight-seeing. We didn't have much time, so we decided to see the Grand Palace and the floating market just outside Bangkok. Both were excellent choices.

Thailand, April 2008

The week before we got married, we went to Thailand for a mini spring vacation. We met some of Morten's friends who work for Vestas in Australia and had a great time seeing the beautiful islands and enjoying the sun and warmth. We stayed in Merlin Beach Resort near Patong Beach on Phuket Island. It was fantastic, and Morten and I plan to go back for a more primitive experience! I know there are alot of pictures and not much writing, but I think in this case, the pictures speak for themselves.
