Danish Holiday - Part Two (Art and Sand)

A few more pictures from my brother's visit to Denmark...

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!

Danish Holiday - Part One (Around Town and the Big City)

 
Vacation came and went much too quickly. I stayed put in Denmark, but my little brother Bennett came to visit. The two weeks off of work were well worth it and much needed. We spent the first couple of days in Vejle, and then the next four in Copenhagen. After living in Denmark for almost a year, it was actually my first time spending any time in the capital city!

We did a ton... anyone who travels with me knows that I like to do and see -- not relax. So, we did and we saw and had a really nice time. Below are some instagrams I snapped while in Vejle and Copenhagen. More to come!
