Saturday, April 11th

Getting to sleep in was very nice. Waking up at around 9, I felt very rested and ready for the day. After a quick breakfast, we went to Ellen's for a tour of her farm. As we began the tour, Ryan was standing in the barn with a sign, flowers and a pony, as he asked Michal to prom. I thought it was very cute. As for the farm, the farm was mammoth, bigger than any of us expected. There were hundreds of cows, standing in rows that seemed to be endless. I have no idea how you tend to that many animals, but they seem to be doing a pretty good job. We went through the farm, petting the cows and chit chatting all the while. I found it very interesting, actually. Every cow in the building was female, except for one cow, the bull. His job was to reproduce. So basically all day, all he does is have sex. Outside, there were smaller, plastic enclosures, each housing a calf. The calfs were very cute, and if you stuck your hand inside the enclosure, they would suck on it, thinking milk would come out. It was pretty funny, it felt really weird. After the tour was over, we went out in the backyard for lunch and ice cream. It was a very nice day, so everyone was in a really good mood enjoying the outdoors. The home made ice cream was also delicious. Ellen even brought out her pony! After we were finished at the farm, we went to the beach. Again, it was a very nice day, so we all wanted to hang out and play some sports. We played football for a while, and then switched to soccer. We had to explain football to the Danes, but they picked it up pretty quickly and had a blast. Soccer was also very fun. We then headed back to Mathias's to shower before the group dinner. We had some time to kill, so we played some Madden and then headed to the school. The dinner was outstanding, tied with the Italian Pizza meal as the best food I had. It was all so unique, so tasteful. I also got interviewed, they asked me a few questions about Denmark. I later found out that I made the school paper! A few of us, including myself, said a few words of gratitude before heading out. It was pretty sad because it was the last time we'd all be together until Monday morning, when we would depart. Me and some others headed back to Paul's where we hung out, playing video games and talking. When it got late, Mathias's dad picked us up and we headed home.
