*catching up*

*i am writing from our new home, located in vesterboro, or the porn district. we love it here & fit right in. it's very lower east side feeling, with lots of cool shops & cafes. in fact, after moving in, doing some grocery shopping, taking a little nap, & making dinner, we took a walk in the rain & discovered our new favorite coffee shop in the world: riccos. why, you ask?

last night, we met signe & thomas, who's apartment we're living in now. they made us an amazing, very vegetarian friendly dinner which they grilled in our backyard, where there is a beautiful common garden/picnic area with some tables, benches, flowers, & a big grill. we also met ulrich, who we'll do the last bit of our apartment swap with in another 2 weeks. all of our new danish friends are great. we had a really fun evening with them.



we had our first bike ride in the dark when we rode home after dinner last night. you have to use bike lights at night, and you can choose if you want them to blink or not. i go with the steady light, but we definitely passed some blinkers. there are also some crazy shadows & interesting lighting happening during copenhagen evenings. we had a great day riding around in our park on saturday too. i'll post all of our catch up photos on http://web.mac.com/allisyn/iWeb tomorrow...

some notes:
*when we asked thomas how/when to water the plants, he replied, "the one by the loudspeaker {stereo}, rarely; the others, give a sip once every second or third day."

*flowers = blomsters

*jas loves the "well defined spaces of this house"
