1.13.2010
A tearful goodbye preceded my flight out of Mosinee and into Chicago just as the sun was setting. My flight partner was a young commercial furniture salesman from San Diego. After establishing the interconnectedness of his field and mine, he assured me that Wisconsinites are much friendlier than Californians. Of course, I didn’t argue.
4+hours later:
I took my Dramamine and boarded my 10:05pm flight from Chicago to Copenhagen feeling anxious/nervous/nauseous. This time, my flight partner was a lawyer from Stockholm.
8.5 hours later (at 1:20pm):
I arrived in Copenhagen (23˚) where Montana was patiently waiting. We took the train out of the city to her grandparents’. Neither of her grandparents speak English (only Danish & Thai) so communication was a bit difficult. We walked to a local grocery store, Kvickly, where I enjoyed a delicious chocolate croissant. I fell asleep around 7pm (noon at home).
First Observations: Orangy-red roofs. The city is very broad, spread out. Many (naturally) blonde people.
