Copenhagen Was Great, But Aarhus Is Wonderful!

We really loved Copenhagen.  One of the best parts was the canal trip where were saw the city from the water--and of course that is the true way to see Copenhagen.

However, Tuesday morning we boarded the train to Aarhus.   What a terrific ride over the ocean.   The waters looked beautiful but cold and uninviting.  I couldn't help but think of the Vikings traveling over the waves a 1000 years ago and what a daunting sight and adventure that must have seemed.   Here we were riding comfortably on a train high above the tempest sea.

What a reception at the train station in Aarhus, Danish flags, smiles, and lots of laughter--I think at all our luggage.  We were met by Dorthe, Janna, and Anders.  We strolled through the city center straight to our sister school.  There were so many new things to see and hear; we couldn't take in all the sights.

At Aarhus Kathedraleskole we were introduced to the principal Lars Shiebel and Vice Principal Arnie Frier .  We had a great and very informative tour of the school from Arne.   It was so interesting hearing about the long and extensive history of the school.  So many different buildings have been built over the years. And of course they are still looking to add property to the school.   Just today Arne visited with members of the city to discuss buying an nearby building.

I will try to update again tonight to post more pictures and to tell about today's adventures.
