Ships!

Today I went to the harbour to watch a lot of beautiful sailing ships. They are doing something called the Tall Ships Race where they sail along a certain route and make stops in some harbours. This year it starts here in Ã…rhus, and the ships are here for some days before they take off. There were stands with food and drink and souvenirs, a small travelling tivoli, and free gigs; and you could get on board some of the ships to take a closer look at them (different ships were open for people at different times). I got on board two big ships and two or three smaller ones, and I liked it a lot. On a ship from the Mexican navy they were playing loud Mexican music which was kind of funny.
One of the stands had different kinds of fudge and marshmallow and nougat and such - all in big chunks. It was quite expensive, but I had to buy some anyway.

I stupidly forgot to bring my camera (and I'm one of those stone age people whose mobile phone isn't equipped with one), but at the homepage of the event you can see some pictures of some of the ships if you want to (there's both an English and a Danish version, I see, so it should be fine for all my readers ("all" sound like there's a huge bunch of you which is very untrue, but you know what I mean)).

I know I didn't update last week - I simply forgot, sorry. Next week I'll be at a Mensa event, a camp arranged by our YouthSIG (SIG = Special Interest Group) which is a SIG for the young and young at heart. Therefore I may not update next Wednesday either.
