Himmelbjerget (Heaven Mountain)

So today was the first day that our camp let us go out into the "real" Danish world! First we had to take a trail in the forest in order to reach the only "mountain" in Denmark. In order for Himmelbjerget to be considered a mountain it must be a minimum of 1,00 feet, but it is only 482 feet! Not exactly a mountain ;) Once we reached the top of the "mountain", which is more of a hill, we ate kolaches and fruit. After lunch we were all boarded the oldest steamboat in the world and took it to Silkeborg where we were able to walk around and shop. The counselors told us that we were having BBQ for dinner and being a Texan I got kinda excited. But once we arrived back to camp, I realized they just meant grilling sausages!! We then made snobrod which is when you wrap dough around sticks from the forest and baked it in the campfire. Today has been one of the most busy days and still I think about everyone back in Texas! It just feels very strange knowing that I'm here for a full year. Miss everyone :)
