Living in Oksbøl

The road signs marking all cities you enter in Denmark. Here, we find us in Oksbøl!

Aal kirke in Oksbøl. This is quite a famous church, because of the very, very old chalk drawings on the walls inside.

Some of the religious carvings inside the church.

Walking in the beautiful nature around Oksbøl. This is Præstesøen (Preast Lake).

The beach in Hvide Strand and the North Sea. We have found many nice pieces of amber along this beach.

When Carsten finds amber, he keeps it in his mouth until he can spit it out into a pile on the table in the van.

This is my pile of amber I found that day! The pieces look bigger than they actually are!

After admiring the amber we found, we enjoyed some hot coffee and homemade coffee bread!

A fishing boat of the coast from Børsmose strand.

Irene and I biked 10 kilometers out to Børsmose strand and 10 kilometers back to Oksbøl in head wind! I found 2 pieces of amber on this beach!

A Visit to Aalborg

In March, Irene, Christian and I drove up to Aalborg to celebrate our Danish camp friend Nick's 20th birthday. He is the guy who is part of the Watermark church band that is traveling through Denmark! We surprised him good!

Christian and Irene outside the building where Nick was staying in Aalborg.

Irene waving the Danish flags as we sing the Danish birthday song! HURRA HURRA HURRA!

Nick and his chocolate egg he got from his band friends for his birthday.

Nick blows out the candles in the "kagemand"... a traditional Danish birthday cake...especially for kids! :)

After visiting with Nick, I spent some time visiting with old Aalborg friends. Igi was in town from England to defend her thesis and Gosia is back in Aalborg living there with Hector while he gets his PhD!

Igi and Annelise in Klostertorvet where they are tearing down the ice skating rink behind us.

At Hector and Gosias for dinner! Yummy soup!

A visit to Aalborg is not complete without a visit to the Irish House. Igi and I with an Irish Coffee!
