Evan, inside one of the churches

Today was the first day of class (although I only had 1 of 5 courses). As I said in the earlier post, I got the service learning placement that I had wanted (yay!) and after class, Evan and I met up and went exploring. We walked some of the same route that he and I had done independently during the Copenhagen Great Race and stopped in a few new churches along the way. Some photos from the afternoon:
Church #1
Church #2 (the cathedral that is directly in line with the Royal Palace (as shown in previous post)
The crosses that are glowing are the result of stained glass windows on the other side of the dome. It was really neat

Inside: quite grand 'eh?
Tonight, Mira and I had a girls' night full of teaching and learning! Mira taught me to count to 11 in Danish (which may come in useful tomorrow) and I taught her how to make friendship bracelets with the kit I had brought. We had an absolute blast! While we worked, we listened to Katy Perry, Adele, and a Danish band (her fav artists). It was the perfect activity and we really bonded. We didn't really have to rely on GoogleTranslate and still managed to communicate well. I would also like to note that Mira is an excellent Danish teacher; she is patient and knows exactly how to break words down! With her help, I'll be fluent in no time ;)
