Aarhus Day

It looks like my days in Denmark are numbered (but more on that later when my plans have firmed up) so last Monday I took the day off work and headed north on the train to the second largest city in Denmark -- Aarhus. It is a really nice place, if you ever have the chance to visit. I know quite a few folks who think that Aarhus has a little something special that Copenhagen doesn't. I couldn't agree more. Luckily the weather was nice (well, by Danish standards anyhow) and I spent the whole day just wandering in and out of shops, cafes, and graffiti-filled corridors. I felt a little guilt over not visiting any museums (isn't someone working in the museum field supposed to visit ALL the museums?) but having the chance to just sit in a coffee shop and drink coffee and do some writing was thoroughly beneficial. I then topped off the day by seeing the Swedish band, First Aid Kit in the evening, which was really amazing and great fun. All in all -- a wonderful day. Goodbye for now, Aarhus... hope to see you again someday!

Aarhus and the West Coast

After Copenhagen, we went to Aarhus, which is the second largest city in the country. I think the highlight for all of us was the art museum -- ARoS. Fortuitously, there was a temporary exhibition of my favorite contemporary artist, Tony Oursler. We were also very lucky that one of my coworkers was kind enough to give us a day tour of the west coast of Denmark. It was so beautiful -- full of dunes, slowly-eroding German bunkers from the Second World War, colorful rocks, and "sea junk." Two very memorable days and a wonderful trip overall!

A Short Train Ride Away...

Took a quick trip to Aarhus yesterday to buy some comic supplies from one of the few comic book stores in the area. Though I wasn't in Aarhus long, I was there long enough to decide that I really like it. Quite a beautiful city. Since I was on a specific mission, I only snapped a few photos. But as you can see, I was quite taken by the architecture of one of the churches there. Hopefully Justin and I will have a chance to go back soon!
