Went to Reading yesterday. The train to get there takes 22 minuites so it's a nice trip. It was a beautiful day so there were tons of people. A full orchestra was playin outside. I sat in starbucks and read pablo neruda poems...it was a good day.

Up Where The Air Is Clear

2007-05-16T13:00:00.000-07:00

yes i admit it...we watch mary poppins.

alot.

hyde park with jared was wonderful. I sat on a bench in the pouring rain and just watched the peter pan...it was absolutely peaceful. seeing jared was an instant feeling of "home" and of love. oh that BEAUTIFUL BOY! together we wandered the span of the park talking and opening our minds to each other. we sat under a huge tree where it was dry and watched a thunder storm and listened to music and smoked a joint and laughed and laughed...and remembered. we climbed to the top of a tree and looked at the world from another angle and fed squirrls from our hands (their tails look like dandilions). we met two puppies who were full of joy and we stopped to pet them for awhille. lying in the rain we stretched out on the grass and discussed what is to come and what has been. so nice to be around someone in the same frame of mind. we ate in a restaurant and talked so much it was hard to find time to order. we stopped in a tunnel and listened to a man play whistles and flutes...amazing. he seemed very wise. i sang in an old building and it was lifted up into the air...beautiful! there was a rainbow over the fountains and when we smelt the roses it was like nothing i've felt before. what a perfect day.

Thanks Mikee

When I was little my cousin Mike taught me (amoung other things) to make lego cars that actually race when you shoot them with elastics and card houses that look really cool. Well thanks Mikee!!!

Katrine and I did makeovers. :)

"Heros Wanted!"

2007-04-12T09:58:00.000-07:00

We went to LegoLand on Easter for a special laser/water show. It was pretty cool. The logo for LegoLand right now is Heros Wanted so everything is about heros. The laser show was about Batman!

These are the Lego Easter Island, they sing We Will Rock You.

This is one of the turrets of the main castle which leads to The Dragon rollercoaster.

This is the Hansel and Gretel section of Storybrook Land.

This is Katrine and I pretending to be afraid of drowing on the Storybrook Land Ride!

Mall River

2007-04-12T09:48:00.000-07:00

All the "malls" here are half indoors and half outdoors...it's amazing really...like downtown Vancouver but with no cars. We went to a huge one in a town nearby called Reading (pronounced Redding). We didn't even go in half the stores before we all got tired. And that took 3 hours!!!! This is a shot of me and the girls by the river that runs through the middle of the shopping center!

The Naked Chef

*So the internet was out for quite some time here. And in that time quite a lot of photos we're taken. So I am going to make a few posts right now...to keep everything organzied.*

This post is about how Katrine and I, using the new Jamie Oliver cookbook made everyone dinner. It was excellent! See for yourself...

This is the table. Dosn't it look pretty?

This is the finished product. It is macaroni and cheese with four different types of cheese and it is amazing. The salad has three types of lettuce, carrot, and cook green beans in it and the dressing is a balsamic that we made from scratch.

This is Katrine and I in the middle of mixing the merangue. It is supposed to be thick enough that you can hold the entire bowl upside down oever your head without it falling on you!

This is me tipping the merangue over my head...it didn't move even a little. Katrine and I were pretty proud!

This is the desert. It is called an Eton Mess.

It has raspberries, strawberries, double cream, crushed up merangue, vanila seed, and roasted almonds in it.

Windsor

2007-04-01T06:40:00.000-07:00

We went shopping in Windsor yesterday. The shopping centre is basically right next to the castle. I'm going to go on a tour of the castle very soon! Part of the the mall is built inside an old train station...it is very cool!!

Katrine and I in a change room...cuz we're cool like that!

Pictures of different walls of the castle...better pictures in the future.

Brilliant!

So here are some pictures of my room...

This is my bed.

This is the window and my TV.

The Family <3

2007-03-26T13:38:00.000-07:00

So the family I am staying with consists of 5 people: Hans Askel, Lene, Katrine, Cecillie, and Signe.

Hans Askel is the father of the family. He smiles alot and is very good with the kids. He works for Legoland! Tonight we cooked dinner together, he is very good at teaching me new things. he often asks me what things are called in English since his first language is Danish.

Lene is the mother of the family. She is very nice and we share a lot of laughs. She tells me lots about the town and where there are things that I can do. She really has my best interests at heart. She works from home for Cranium (the board game company) so I spend my days with her.

Katrine is the oldest (11) of the three girls. She loves gymnastics and is constantly trying to do handstands. She is soft spoken and dramatic. She is trying out for her school play tomorrow and she wants one of the main parts. She likes to help take care of her little sisters.

Cecillie is the middle child (9). She has the reddist hair of the three and for some reason she seems the most stereotypically British even though that whole family is Danish. She loves sports and anything involving activity. She also loves to learn new information. I talk to her a lot about the British football (soccer) team. She also loves handheld video games and she has TONS of them. Right now her Nintendo DS is her favourite. We often call her Cillie (Silly) instead of using her full name.

Signe (pronounced Seen-Ah) is the "baby" (7) of the family. She is a goofball! She loves cuddling and making up horrible jokes. She is not very patient and is always moving until she exhausts herself. Her favourite thing to do with me is jump on the trampoline. She thinks that English from Canada is called Canadaish.

The plane ride was so long! Hearing the Disney music at the beginning of Pirates 2 made me feel at home though.

I wake up to the sounds of bird in the morning. Different birds then you hear at home.

The neighborhood is amazing...
