Handball and Train Hijinx

apologize for the photo layout. I don't seem to be very gifted with that portion of the blag. Or the writing part. Ahh well. The past few days have been very busy, but they've also been a lot of fun. The photos in this post are from city hall square/the greeting of the Danish handball team. The men won the handball world cup against Serbia on Sunday night, and 15-20,000 people welcomed them back to Denmark on Monday afternoon. I was only a few rows away from the front, and it was such a cool experience. People of all ages were there to celebrate in the BITTER cold, and there were Danish flags flying everywhere. In terms of the pictures, the guy holding up the gold plate is the Danish goalie. He is tall and attractive. Shocker for Denmark. Right?! The guy with his arms raised is another favorite. I won't say how many pictures I took of him...I also threw in a crowd shot, but it doesn't depict how many people were there. The birds may seem like a random choice, but they actually stole the show. This woman walked in and out of the city hall building, and as she walked out, the birds decided to dive bomb her multiple times. Hilarious/may have induced more cheering for the team. Today was another cold day, and snow is apparently on the way...hooray. Spent some time at a cafe with friends today, and pastries are the most affordable thing in this city. Mildly problematic. I'm getting better with the trains and haven't truly missed any since the beginning, but the train we chose tonight had a mind of its own. We were only moving for a few minutes before the train lost power and came to a stop. It picked up again and continued, but it didn't make it very far before we had to exit the train and wait for another one. Tragically, our stop isn't exactly a hub, so the two minute wait for another train turned into 30+ minutes outside. I am grateful for the Vikings/their influence in creating gloves. We finally made it home, and our host mom had another delicious meal waiting for us. She really needs to open a restaurant. No new bike accidents to report....yet. Heading to Sweden for the day tomorrow, and I am really excited. Pictures to come, and I hope that you are all doing well!
