Lucky??

This entry is from 6/27/08.

I think I'm pretty lucky.
-end up in the front row of Billy Joel, Amy sings with him and then ties his shoe. We both catch guitar pics.
-First time gambling EVER was with dad... we walked away grinning.
-Met Chainsaw, he gives us more guitar gear.
-I'm in Denmark.


To get to Denmark, I had to stop in Iceland and switch planes. The lady next to me on my plane over was from Iceland. She was a stomach doctor and was very nice. Told me a lot about iceland, which seems pretty cool now. Everyone at the airport was beautiful to begin with. The airport itself was immaculate. And quiet. The quietest airport I've ever been in. As for Iceland, it's built up on volcanic layers and has quite the landscape. Lots of bright teal lagoons and springs were visible from the plane.

I learned a bit about the odd and extreme sports they have in Iceland, thanks to the in-flight entertainment. It got me wondering about Bornholm... maybe I'll go skydiving...

When I got to Copenhagen, I met Joe and Sally in the baggage claim and we headed to their apartment together. When we got there, the owners greeted us and helped us with our bags. Klaus and Randi were the first and, so far, the coolest Copenhageners I've met. Klaus is a professional photographer and Randi is a singer. A human beatbox machine, actually. And she is touring all over the world this summer. She gave me a CD and I told her when she gets to New York I'll be sure to see her show. I would love to meet more people like them; friendly, nice, and talented. I'd probably be their nanny if they needed one and if they'd have me.

The new housemates and myself all went out to dinner, and after much deliberation, we decided on Indian food. Which was delicious but very expensive. We are all learning rather quickly that Denmark is not cheap. But their service is; the waitress we had was absolutly the worst waitress I've ever had. She made it clear she did not want to make us happy. But it didn't really matter- we were so tired and so happy to be in Copenhagen. I went to bed at 10 (Copenhagen time)-- something I haven't done in months and months.
