Notes from Odense





Dear friends,

Can't really explain why the bread, cheese, wine, cucumbers and tomatoes taste so elegant here. Our little picnics on the patio seem so special.

We took a break today and napped in the sunshine, got out the travel books and enjoyed shopping in a grocery store where we understand nothing....literally nothing. Our first Bar-b-q on the patio tonight, couldn't have been more pleasant.

There is a lot to see here in Funen and beyond. So we will get back into sight-seeing mode tomorrow. We are taking things slow at first. Don't want to wonder too far, too fast with our little car and Gene's international drivers license. We finally need the GPS and it went kaput! No bother, only one highway, 4 islands and 6,800 miles of coastline. We ought to be able to navigate that.


For those of you considering trying a house exchange. We are loving it. We have had a few little challenges, but nothing we can't handle. Mostly are finding that having a home base, taking each day as it comes and having the flexibility of just hanging out, suits us really well.

Not to mention the wonderful Zen garden and butterfly plants. So very nice....

There is an extra room, anyone want to come for a visit?
