too bad i no longer got to read the comments from my last entry before we had to set off to denmark. after i wrote that entry, i still had my own things to pack. jan’s things first, as usual, because the size of my own luggage depends on how much space is left after everything else is squeezed into the car — a bike seat for jan, a stroller, a jumbo-box of diapers, a kite, a tent, jan’s beach toys, and a small crate of assorted supplies. good thing we had a combi/stationwagon, otherwise, there would have been space just enough to bring a bikini and a pair of undies!

it was a good welcome-back treat, though, to read all the well-wishes. thanks! we had a great time in denmark, although it could have been a few degrees higher; i think the water was never more than 20 degrees at its warmest! brrrr!!! jan had a great time, though, just playing on the beach. it’s amazing how he busied himself digging, drawing on the sand, collecting stones, throwing stones in the water. apart from just keeping an eye on him, he was pflegeleicht (easy to take care of). on rainy days, we’d either take jan for a short excursion to see some nearby cities, or wear him his raincoat and boots and stomp in puddles, or count slugs (ew!) in the garden. i think, as far as jan is concerned, the denmark holiday scores a 10!

will post pics at the end of the week. meanwhile, i’ve had 3 washloads and a couple more to do, and an apartment to clean! ugh, it’s back to reality!
