Arhus and Kolding continued!

Well, its a rainy depressing day here in denmark so i figure ill just keep going on these posts and at least finish up my short study tour stuff for now, arent you guys lucky.
Heres a picture of a field we came across on our way to Arhus, i thought it seemed very classically danish. This was on our way to try and get to a beach...after about half an hour of walking we ended up coming across a small little village which appeared to be in the middle of no where. then after another 45 minutes of walking and getting lost we actually ended up right back here in this same field at which point our tour leader finally admitted she had no idea where we were. but it was nice to get some walking at least and it was helping all of us get over our hangovers.


At this point our tour leader also decided that we might as well break out the bottle of liqueur which she had got for us to all take small shots of once we reached the beach. But since that was clearly not going to happen we ended up just taking them in this field... as you can see the sheep got quite friendly after we hung around for a little bit. For some reason the Danes love licorice flavor in everything and this liqueur was no exception, we all agreed it was terrible but who is gonna look a gift horse in the mouth?








We also visited a museum while we were in Arhus, and this picture is for my family specifically. In the modern art section of the museum i found this picture and luckily read the plaque next to it and noticed that this is actually a photo of some store fronts in Butte, Montana. pretty exciting eh?






This was one of the main attractions of the museum. Its entitle 'boy' (no surprise there) and this thing is gigantic and incredibly life like. I took a few close-up shots of his feet to show how detailed it was, there was even dirt under his toenails...i actually was looking through my photos when i was picking out ones to post and i was really confused because i didnt remember taking pictures of my feet and it took me a little while to realize that it was actually a picture of this sculpture. I dont know how tall this kid would be if he was standing up but if i remember correctly he's about 15-20 feet tall just in that crouched position.











We also stopped by one of those old time villages where everyone dresses up like theyre from the 1800s and pretends to be real town members. This is a picture of my scavenger hunt team (Ben, me, Gus and Leah). I dont know why, but i decided that we should really be into the scavenger hunt and so i forced them to participate as well. But my excitement was contagious evidently because by the end we were all pretty into it and finished in record time...or well not really record time, but we were the first ones done. AND our hard work paid off because we won, placing 1st out of the three teams that actually competed (and thats still impressive, i dont care what you say). Unfortunately our prize was just a bag full of candy which was half full of, you guessed it, licorice flavored candies...the victory was still pretty sweet though, no pun intended. (actually now that i think about it, i do intend that pun...)
Well there you have it, that was my short study tour to western denmark in a nutshell. Im sure theres a lot of stuff that i left out but hey, i gotta save something tell all of you when i actually see you in person right? anyway that gives you a little flavor at least. Sorry that last post was a little lame, i feel like im getting back into the groove though. Plus, we can only get better right? and ive still got a ton of photos cos we havent even hit my LONG study tour yet...
