Fastelavn II

Rita was belly dancer. We got her out fit at the bazaar in Aarhus when it was a bit warmer. So it ended up being a belly dancer in long underwear. 

Fastelavn

This year we had both David and Felicia with us for the festivities in the neighborhood. Quite unusual both of them beat both the bottom of the barrel and the final plank thus becoming both queen and king. Rita was responsible for the action shots and got this one of Ellen. 

Green eggs and ham

It is not. But we went for a one day trip to Germany. Nothing was really planned and then we came upon this place in Harmsdorf: Braaschs schinkenräucherei. A small old cottage that has been changed into a ham smokery. It was original a home - the apartment is still in the house - but since it didn't have any chimney, Herr Braasch found it better suited for hams. When we were there 1000 hams were hanging from the ceiling. They make about 4000 a year. The production period is November to March. The rest of the year it is too warm.

Winter vacation in Sweden

Our winter vacation is almost at an end. 7 days in the house in Hørby. We enjoyed lots and perhaps too much good food. And we were so fortunate to have snow. Erik spent a long time trying to get the arm to stick on the snow men. Patience had its way and he succeded in the end.

Ready for superbowl

Thanks, Uncle Paul.

Wintery Paris

Ellen accompanied me on a business trip to Paris. It was blistery cold but we made it around in the streets and the metro. We had wonderful meals. Foie grass with blueberries may sound unusual but something of the most delicious I've ever tasted. I'm certain it won't be our last visit to this city.
