Arrival and First Day in Denmark!

I survived my 10 hour flight and somehow also managed to make it through an entire day of jet lag in Holte, Denmark. The flight was fairly bearable as I had plenty of movies to watch and a lot to think about. I was glad to meet up with a group of other Rotary exchange students some of which I will be seeing a lot more in district meetings. My arrival (pictured here) was a very warm welcome and I was very excited to finally meet my parents Lars and Elsebeth, my sisters Ida and Anne-Katherine, and my counselor Charlotte. We drove home through some of Copenhagen and it was breathtaking. I can't wait to see more of the city! Holte is very nice as well and it will be an absolutely delightful place to spend a year. The room I'm in is quite nice and it was terribly generous of my host family to let me stay in it. I had a restful nights sleep and now had a very Danish first day. I ate tasty rye bread and open faced sandwiches, took a bike ride, and swam in the sound catching a glimpse of Sweden in the process. It has all been incredible so far and I can't believe how excited I am for school to start and for my year to really take off!
