We made it Denmark yesterday!! We spent the afternoon exploring the city of Copenhagen! We have a Danish principal, that our professors have become friends with, guiding us around the city. His name is Olav and he is a principal in Odense, Denmark.
Today we went on our first school visit. The school has many immigrant children coming from 38 countries and speaking 45 different languages. We met the head master, Lise, and many of the students. They were very excited to see us. Lise and Olav talked with us about many of the issues there are having with immigrant children at the schools. The Danish and immigrant children are needing to adapt to each other and their ways of life. This was very interesting to listen to and they think of things differently than we do.
After our school visit we took a boat tour of Nyhavn, Harbor. The picture to the right is the old buildings of Nyhavn harbor with some boats. We were able to learn some history about many of the old buildings and some of the boats in the water. We also saw the Queen's palace and her royal yacht. After the boat tour we walked over to the Queen's palace and took a tour of the Crown Prince and Princess's future palace. The Queen was not home because the Danish flag was not flying above her palace.
