Today was a Danish National Holiday, so Peter lent me his bike and Connie Kampf acted as a capable tour guide to some of the great sights of Arhus.
Our first destination was a Mental Hosptial that has an art gallery featuring the work of patients. We rode along the bay for about 30 minutes or so on a beautiful day to get there.
But it was closed for the holiday. So we may try again tomorrow afternoon. Not to be deterred, we rode the other way all through Arhus until we reached the South Harbor area. There was some sort of Rock-n-roll fesitval going on so it was quite busy. We decided to have lunch near the Marina.
We also took a quick tour of the grounds of one of the Danish Royal Palaces. You can see more pictures on my Flickr page. All in all, it was a nice afternoon of Danish culture, traditional and, er, it's intersection with the U.S.:
I worked on my Hermes article for Peter this morning before heading out around Noon today, so it was a productive and fun day. I plan a similar schedule tomorrow (Saturday), with some work followed by some shopping for Les & Lily!
