Anni and Jens treated us to a lovely weekend on one of the beautiful Danish islands, called Fanø. (Ø means "island"). It is just off the west coast town of Esbjerg where Anni spent her teenage years, and she often visited the island with friends. We were blessed with gorgeous weather and our hotel room was less than a 2 minute walk to the beach - which is one of the widest in Denmark. Seriously, you have to drive across the beach to get to the water - it's that wide.
We took lots of trips to the waterpark that was also included in the summerhouse price, as well as to the water's edge, though we left our camera at home for those trips. Much splashing, waterslide sliding and sand castle building was had by all. Here's a shot of the sun going slowly down. It's about 7pm in that picture, but the sun will stay at that position for about an hour. It doesn't go down these days until around 11 pm. "Ohhhh, those suh-hu-mer NI-hights!" Best part of Denmark.
Here is also a picture of Anni, Jens, me and Morten enjoying the great weather at a little cafe Anni and Jens took us to. I had cool, smoked salmon and the others enjoyed two local specialities: one is called The Shooting Star which is a fried cod filet served over fresh shrimp (Jens' default), and the other was smoked herring with rye bread. (That one is Anni showing her west coast roots...)
And the last is a video of Max. He has for sure Danish blood in him - hot dogs (Dk: pølser) have always been a favorite. But the other half of him is for sure American, as he knows exactly how to say French Fries in English.
(Anni says in the background: "Vi har det godt" which means, "Life is Good".)
