Finally figured out how to run the washing machine (remember our experience when we picked Dan up ;)) and got some washing done, hung it out on the line, and it has been raining since then :(. So the house looks like a Chinese laundry. We now are regular shoppers in the little REMA 1000 grocery store in Otterup, of course it doesn't take much time to cover the whole store, but we have been able to find what we needed. We eat breakfast here (I'm the breakfast cook), and find a restaurant about 3:00 pm; and then there are the pastry shops :). We are all going to have a weight problem when we get home. We spent yesterday in Odense trying to find out where Janis and Karen's great grandparents were buried. Found the cemetery, but the Sexton only had digital records back to 2003, so he sent us to the City Cultural offices (thank goodness for GPS - but the real problem is finding a parking spot), who then referred us to the City Archives. Naturally these offices close at 4:00 pm, so we are headed back there today to see what we can find. Everyone has been very friendly, nice and helpful. We were right in the neighborhood of Hans Cristian Anderson's home, so we stopped by thinking we would just take a look, right - nope, wall around everything, a big museum and a $40/person charge to get in, so we passed on that one (took that money and bought more pastries :) ).
Vikings travel in style when they leave the ship.
