Finally Took Some Pictures...

Today I had nothing to do, so I took a walk around the wooded area not far from Rosenborg. My plan was to go geocaching**, but I waited too long to go and it was getting dark. Instead, I just walked around and took a couple of pictures!

One of the many walking paths in the wood...I cant wait to go back when there is snow on the ground!

Random windmill

So many options! I was afraid I was going to get lost, but I had my geocaching GPS with me. One of the first days I got here, I programed the coordinates for Rosenborg just in case I wanted to go out exploring, I wouldn't get lost!

The place I went walking, had everything! There were a few playgrounds, a petting zoo, a place to rent ice skates, and a putt putt place! During the summer, this place will be neat! It almost made me miss my days working at putt putt.

This is Rosenborg, my house for the next 6 months! If you look really close, you can see a red arrow on the third floor. Thats my room :-)

More pictures will come eventually! I have been waiting for a blue sky, sunny day to go out and take pictures, but I have only seen one of those since I have been here. So, I am about to give up hope, waiting for one of those days.

As most people back home know, I suck at cooking. My cooking skills are practically non-existant. I have been eating a lot of bread, cereal, macaroni and cheese, and something similar to Ramon Noodles since I have been here. So last night, David from Spain and I were watching Americas Funniest Videos and we got to talking about milk shakes and a milk shake sounded so good. We decided it would be a good idea to go to McDonalds and get one. But I was also starving, so I decided to get food too. You all know how anti McDonalds I am, but OMG I have never been that excited for a cheeseburger before! I felt like I was at Texas Roadhouse or something. That's how excited I was. It's pretty bad if I consider McDonalds a good meal. :-P I have been told that I will be getting cooking lessons soon...maybe when I come back home I will be able to cook something other than purple macaroni and cheese and popcorn?

Hope everyone is loving the 12 inches of snow you just got and all of the school cancellations! Have fun!

  1. I am looking forward to you having those cooking lessons. Maybe you will be able to cook something yummy when you get home. I am sure that it will be much better than the purple mac and cheese. hehehe!!!
    That is soooo funny about the McDonald's. You never eat there. However, I am glad that you are eating something.
    I am glad to see some pictures. That is a random windmill. Seems like an odd place for it. Look forward to seeing more pictures.
    Love Mom
