Well, it's day 3 in Sonderborg -- pronounced "suh-nuh-BO-ah" -- and we're still here! We've had lots of rain and lots of sun, as well as a good bit of wind, which draws tons of sailboats from Germany. Don and I spent our first night in one of the dorms of the university (Southern Denmark University) last night, and it exceeded all of our expectations. The room above us hosted a party, all girls screeching Kelly Clarkson and other terrible American pop at top volume until 4am. Apparently, it's something of a free-for-all with the dorms here as there are no RAs or any other sort of head-cracking officials around. Also, we're attempting cozyness in our twin bed, a foam pad on a bench that the university has provided. LOVE IT!
Today, we ran into the annual harvest festival, and guess what we were treated to? The regional line dancing club strutting their HOTTEST stuff on the pedestrian mall. The strains of John Denver's "take me home...country road...where I belong...WEST VIRGIIIIINIA...MOUNTAIN MAMA" proved far too enticing for us to ignore...
Right now, we're facing a pretty tough rental market as most people prefer to buy and sell rather than rent, especially mid-to-higher end places, but we're still looking. But I did get a hair dryer!!! SUCCESS!! After miming "hair dryer" to a lovely Danish lady in a make-up shop, she brought me to the hairspray section before conferring with another clerk who sent me to another store. Hair dryers run $50-80 here, so I'm now the happy owner of one of those teeny tiny little screamers...for $42... But at least I can be beautiful every day...
