Left to right: Ole, me, Cecile, and May-Britt. Ole is a mechanic at Egeskov Castle and May-Britt is an accountant at a cheese powder factory. When the visit was arranged I didn't know what to expect, but I was hoping to simply catch a glimpse into their daily lives and maybe see a little of the countryside. They must have read my mind because that's exactly what we did. Oh, and then I learned a thing or two about smørrebrød, motorcycles, very old cars, the lottery, brown gravy, Pink Panther, Danish politics (May-Britt's version), dish washing, Danish beer NOT made by Carlsberg, smoked cheese, salat (Feta) cheese, cheese powder, tree bridges, Mexican food (with a Danish twist), table manners, hedge mazes, BAMse, Syd Fyn geography, hot air balloons, fire trucks, and why I should never lick my knife.

A Fyn Family
This weekend was spent with a family that lives on the island of Fyn. They are friends with Henrik, Vibeke's husband. I sincerely thank him for first thinking of the idea (of allowing me to ride his motorcycle across Denmark!) and then putting in the effort to arrange everything with May-Britt. And of course I have to thank May-Britt and the gang for allowing me to be a part of the family for the weekend.
