Put a yule on it and call it christmas

Merry christmas and/or happy holidays to all!

I meant to take more pictures of the christmas set up in Denmark but I'll just post a few here today. One thing that was pretty funny was that the grocery stores managed to acquire a "yule" (christmas) version of almost every product - yule beer, yule sausage, yule cookies, yule paté! Yule tea pictured at left.

 This is the view from the christmas ferris wheel - you can see the Fjord off in the distance and the christmas lights on the town hall below.

 

Here I am hangin' on the christmas wheel in front of one of Aalborg's churches.

Christmas train! This was an adventure with a few of my group mates that involved riding a really old train about a half an hour out into the middle of nowhere to spend about an hour freezing cold at a "christmas market" that was actually mostly selling christmas trees. The train was pretty cool though, and as you can see in the picture above the Danish babies were at their best. They usually wear little colorful one-piece rompers, and it's pretty adorable.

I wish I could post some pictures of the sunny spanish christmas I've enjoyed, but those will have to wait until I'm back in the 'borg. Needless to say I enjoyed a local beer and tapas earlier today in a t-shirt, followed by a delicious (and extremely filling) christmas day lunch/dinner. I've been dusting off the old spanish so to end I will say, feliz navidad a todos!!

Lots of love to everyone who has been reading the blog, I really love hearing from you and I appreciate you taking the time to follow along on my adventure here!
