On a rainy day..

...I wish I was here

From last years trip to Greece

Home again and a new job

We are home again, after a really nice week on Rhodes in Greece, though we had a couple of days with at bit of wind and rain. The water was very cold but we went in anyway...

I absolutely love the old town in Rhodes-city, i have been there once before and was really looking forward to show Benjamin the castle, he loved it...

...and came to love knights even more

The view from our room

...and the cutest ice-cream ever!

I went to my very first jobinterview yesterday...and i got the job. I'm going to be a teacher on a small school (120 students from grade 0 til 7th.) and the best part is that i'm also going to be the school-librarian. I don't know many details yet, waiting for them to call me. I start the first of august.

Today i'm working on one of the last project for my artclass, it has to be something which is made on the computer. A couple of weeks ago i stumbled upon  scannography which is basically making pictures/collage directly on your scanner. It can produce som really beautiful images (i haven't made these) 

I will show you mine when I'm done with them.

I'm here

...coming home on saturday.

The streets of Luxor

The photo of the day is actually a serie of pictures taken mostly from a horse carriage. We felt a bit like intruders when he drove us through the local market and the people there had to move their items away from the street. Egypt is a colourfull place but also very dirty and poor.

I'm sorry to say that this is actually not my picture, Brian took this one. I was back at the hotel keeping close to the toilet....

Benjamin got his penguin camera, and he very quickly found out how it worked, we are still waiting for the prints. 

The photo is taken in Sharm el Sheikh Airport.

Home sweet home

We returned to Denmark thursday evening. Tired, but happy to be home. My sweet mother had filled the fridge with all sort of great stuff: milk, butter, jam, rugbrød (very dark bread- which i think is only eaten in Denmark and Germany - not even our swedish friend Anna likes it, but my oh my, we love it, especially after a vacation abroad), leverpostej(another danish food - it is made from - hold on- the liver from a pic, sardins, different herbs, onions, flour and more which i can't remember. It sounds disgusting, and i think if children actually new what was in it they would not eat it, but we all just love it (allmost all of us) - i guess that "liverpaté" is to be found in other countrys as well, but i don't think that anybody in the world eat the amount of the stuff that we, the danes, do.) Oh well, i will stop the food talk now, though it was nice to sit in our own sofa eating rugbrød with leverpostej.

We had a great trip, though i am not sure i will ever return to Egypt. I would love to see more of their ancient relics, but i kind of got enough of the egyptians. More about that later.

Soon i will post som photos from our vacation.

Just happy to be back online...

Tomorrow is the day...

Now we are all packed and ready to hop on the plain to Egypt. Just have to catch  a few hours of sleep first. Better set the alarm clock at 4.30 (oh my, that's early...). Have to leave for the airport at 5.50. My mission at the airport is to find af kiddy-camera shaped like a penguin. (maybe it will look like this...?)

Hoping for a hotspot at our hotel, if so, i will try to post som more, the following weeks...
