So, I have less than 48 hours left in Copenhagen and I have been thinking of you a lot. You keep telling me that I need to appreciate the time I have left and get everything out of my final days in Denmark. Well, I just wanted to let you know that I have certainly been doing exactly that. On Saturday we went to our visiting family's house for a traditional Danish Christmas lunch. The meal lasted 3 hours and we had soooo much food. You would have been so proud of the food I tried (and will never eat again). I tried 4 different kinds of fish (including herring!) and at least 6 different preparations of pork (believe it or not I ate liver patte). I most definitely did not enjoy everything I ate, but I am proud that I at least tried it all.
Tell me, how is the food on shipboard? Have you been eating any traditional Swedish dishes that you really liked/disliked? I can't wait until you come home and we can share our expereinces with different Nordic cultures.
Well, I will be home in a matter of days. It is going to be very strange to be there without you, especially around the holidays. Don't worry, I will make sure to decorate the tree appropriately (we can't trust the other two to do it right!). I will leave you with a bit of your own advice... enjoy every moment, try new things and have fun!
Love, Kelly
