After this, we went to a town called Ebeltoft which was full of beautiful, old, vibrant houses and cobblestone streets. Andrea and I plan to go back and explore the town a little more. We stopped in the Town Hall at Ebeltoft, which is now a museum full of old documents and paintings of royal figures in Denmark. It was built in 1789 and is apparently a very popular spot for public marriages.
After this, Andrea and I met with the headmaster of our school who gave us the grand tour. It's a beautiful school and is really modern, and was rated the #1 Public Gymnasium in all of Denmark. I'm so excited to start attending school there and to meet new people. The school has beautiful views of the ocean and it seems like a very welcoming atmosphere.
We also went to our first Rotary meeting this evening, and each gave a presentation about ourselves. Everyone was very nice there and I look forward to getting to know all of the Rotarians better. I am so beyond thankful to each and every one of them and I can't wait to learn more of their language and culture.
Tomorrow I think Andrea and I will try to explore Rønde a little bit more and go into some local shops. This is a very sweet town and I'm excited to see what it has to offer.
Thank you to our counselor Per for bringing Andrea and me everywhere today, it was really very kind of you.
I am so grateful for this experience and feel so very lucky to be here. I hope to use my time wisely here and make the most out of this experience. Thank you so much to everyone who made this trip possible for me. I've only been here a few days, but I already love it, and I can't believe I'm going to be living here for a year.
