Getting Lost in the Forest

Yesterday afternoon I took a couple hour walk in the forest which runs along the coast. It's only a couple minutes away from my dorm and it's a beautiful place to hang out in.

Towards the end of my walk I took a seat at one of the benches that lines the edge of the forest overlooking the water. I just chilled listening to the waves wash up on the rocks below.

I kept thinking how thankful I am to have chosen Arhus. Yes, it's not the big cities of Paris or London, and it's not the sunny beaches of southern Spain, but it's a great place!

They call Arhus the "City of Smiles" and Denmark the "Happiest Country in the World." That's a pretty good combination.

Don't you just love long walks?
I'm glad you had the chance to experience something unique and different, but all the same wonderful, abroad... Enjoy the rest of this exciting chapter.

I am glad you are taking the opportunity to cease the day. You have totally immersed yourself in learning about other cultures and the surroundings of where you are. Your experiences are priceless. They have enabled you to broaden your views and appreciate the diversity of people. You truly did pick the right spot to study abroad. Keep smiling.
