Dear Denmark,
I think you’re missing a piece of your country! We were in California driving across some tree covered hills when the trees suddenly disappeared, flat plains of tanned grass took over, and a little Danish town called Solvang appeared.

Like a Scene Out of a Bad Movie
You know that scene in the movies where the laundry machine overflows because the main character puts in too much detergent and you think to yourself “yeah right, that’d never happen in real life. The instructions are written on the side of the box!” Well, I read the instructions on the side of the box and put the least amount of detergent in (bottom line of the scoop). Guess what happened? Yup, it overflowed with foam! The pictures you see are after I had put the wash through another cycle of plain water to try and rinse it out. Thank goodness I only had my sneakers in there!
Like Moths to a Flame
Approaching Vegas was overwhelming.You drive through miles of desert nothingness so dark at night that you can see the milky way and stars litter the skies like icing sugar on a chocolate cake. Then, you begin to approach a city of lights so bright you wonder if something is going to short circuit. The city gets bigger and bigger, and so do the buildings and towers. Suddenly you’re driving (or rather inching) along The Strip and your senses are overwhelmed by the stench of hundreds of people, the sounds of commercials and outdoor performances playing one after the other telling you that “Leanne Rhimes is performing at the Luxor” “Watch the #1 musical performance..” “Rated #1 show in all of Las Vegas” etc. as if you were on the set of Minority Report, and the bright lights twinkle, flash, and move across the buildings around you all trying to entice you to spend money at their resort. It’s an epileptic person’s worse nightmare.
