March Madness. March 2019.

March begins with Fastelavn. It is kinda a mix between Halloween and Carnival. The kids wore their costumes to school. This year it was pretty much a repeat of when we celebrated (American) Halloween- a unicorn and a skeleton.

A little dinner and drinks with my friend Jessica at PS Bar & Grill and the Black Swan.We went exploring in Assistens Cemetery in Nørrebro.

A copy of the famous sculpture, Laocoon and his Sons. We saw the original in Rome. A copy of Michelangelo’s Moses is on the right.

Following our walk through the park, we went to get some treats. K got cheesecake and warm chocolate. Not hot chocolate, only warm. Danes are pretty literal. Also, the cheesecake isn’t what you are used to in America. It’s still good, but not real “cheesecake” good.

We did an amazing Ladies field trip to Marienlyst Spa, up in Helsingør. We started the day with a breakfast buffet.

We stayed warm in the heated pools and hot tub. There was a gorgeous view of the sea and Kronborg Castle in the distance.

Then it was time for the Sauna session. You go to the sauna for 15 minutes, then go jump in the water, then repeat, ending in the spa to warm yourself back up. It’s so so cold, but amazingly refreshing. Kinda like cryotherapy.

Some random food pics from this month. Far left- the Danish version of nachos from Vaca; middle pic- Andrew’s fav, Dorito Roulette, some are nacho flavor, some are spicy; far right- a yummy lunch Andy and I shared at Armandos.

The kids have been looking forward to the big third grade play since the got here. They are learning all about mythology and this year’s play was Perseus and Medusa. It was an impressive production, with the kids helping to write the play, make the costumes, and design the set. Katherine was Hera in her class’s production, while Andrew was a God/narrator.

They did a fantastic job. Such great work by everyone. So proud.I will leave you with a short story by Katherine that she wrote in her after-school writing class.

ps. Look what Andy learned to do this month. He is so proud.
