This was taken at the Danish-German border, at the very southwest tip of Denmark. The monument says "The Danish-German Dike."Hejsa, friends and family! First post ever, documenting my second adventure to the incomparable kingdom of Denmark (see first adventure here). I was accepted to the Masters' program of Maritime Archaeology at Southern Denmark University, which means for two years I'll be living in Esbjerg, Denmark. Right now, however, I am staying with my wonderful, selfless, awesome friend Brittany in her lovely home in Weiden, Germany. She has lived here since October of 2010. This entire trip would absolutely not have been possible without her and her husband John, both of whom I cannot thank enough.
The past week has been incredible but exhausting, as I had to book it up to Denmark immediately upon arrival in Frankfurt. I've definitely hit the ground running. A longer post is soon to come, describing night trains and airports, encounters with incredibly helpful Germans, rounding up cattle on the border of Germany and Denmark, and a traditional Danish wedding.
Denmark is currently ranked as one of the happiest countries in the world (according to Forbes). While biting my lip and worrying about an apt name, I said to Brittany that I wanted to call it "the happy something." Brittany said, "The happy what?" And I loved it.

I like your braids.
