two days mixed into one

(this post is made possible by Deni's computer)

This morning Michael woke me up at 1:20PM. We were hoping to go to Odense around noon...

Jet lag was not the only thing keeping us asleep through the morning - basically, we have been having lots of adventures.
our flight left around 6pm on Thursday (it was a pretty fun flight), and we arrived at our destination at 7am on Friday... these days, put together, became one superday.
After arriving at Copenhagen, we were picked up by Jakob, the husband of our amazing friend, Hanne, who we met in Newark before the flight. They gave us a ride into town, where we got a SIM card and tried to contact Deni, our first Danish host.

Deni was in a class, so we waited outside his apartment for a little while (and took a nap).
Eventually, Deni returned home and let us into his apartment, where he became the first interviewee for the short movie that we are shooting during this trip.
We then hit the town with Deni, our magnificent host.
Later, we went to Tivali Gardens, where there is a concert every Friday during summer. The band was called Tower of Power, and they are from Oakland, California.
Tower of Power is quite popular in Denmark. During the concert, we met up with Jakob and Hanne (and their friends) at a restaurant overlooking the ampitheater. They are all really cool people.

And then we walked home and went to bed. And that was the end of the superday.

Dear Will & Michael,

So funny to meet up i Newark and in next minute we where sitting together in Tivoli Garden i Copenhagen.It was really nice having you introduced to the Tower of Power and really cool that you came and joined at Balkonen. We truely enjoyed your company. Afterwards one of the guys told me that you Michael study anthropology....why didn't we came to that part when we were talking about what we are doing? - I do work in Microsoft, right, but I'm also anthropologist my self :o).
Both Jacob and I hope that you have a safe trip to Odense and that you meet up with you friend as hoped. Take care and enjoy.

Warm grettings from Jacob & Hanne
