Påskeferie

Sorry that it's been so long since my last post- it's been crazy busy here in DK!

Some recent developments are that I've since moved from my second host family to my third and final host family! I am now living back in Rønde, near where my school is located. I have a wonderful new family that I'm very excited to be living with:)

In March, we had a week off from school for our Easter Holiday (or Spring Break), where my family came to visit me! I met up with them in Copenhagen, and got to spend a couple days with them there.

We stayed in a cozy little apartment in an area of Copenhagen called Amagerbro. We got the opportunity to explore the city a bit, and even got to take a boat tour through the canals of Copenhagen! (It was still pretty cold when they came to visit, and even snowed a few of the days they were here...but we were able to manage)

We also went to the world famous amusement park, Tivoli! It was beautiful and HUGE. Most businesses in Denmark close around 6 o'clock at night, but the park was open until midnight! Luckily it wasn't very crowded when we went (maybe because it was a bit cold), but I was so glad I got to experience going there. My sisters and I went on several rides together and had a lot of fun.

After our short stay in Copenhagen, my family and I rented a car and drove back to Rønde, where I live now. My first host family was so kind as to let my family live with them for a few days. I was able to show them around the town where I live, and even took my sisters to school with me one day.

The first night we were in Rønde we took my family out to the castle ruin called Kalø that is about a 3 minute drive from where we live. We took coffee out and watched the sunset from there.

The families meet!

Over the next few days I got to show my parents and sisters where I've been living the past 8 months, introduce them to my host families and new friends I've made, and show them what it's like to be living in Denmark. I'm really glad they got the opportunity to come visit, it was nice to be able to show them the life I've made for myself over here.

Although I miss them, it's only a little over two months until I see them again!

A big thank you to Nancy Lane for donating to my GoFundMe! Without your donation I never would have been able to share this experience with my family, and I am so thankful that I was able to have this opportunity. Thank you so much!
