Copenhagen Thanksgiving - A Year in Review

[a late post from Thanksgiving]

I was reminded today as I helped Grandma make the stuffing that I was not here for last year's Thanksgiving feast!  I was in wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen.  

I can remember the Thanksgiving feast that my immediate group of friends had the actual night of Thanksgiving that mostly consisted of Americans and Australians.  Instead of an expensive turkey, we opted for chicken wings, boxed mashed potatoes, and boxed stuffing.. not our classiest moment.

But later that weekend we had our very own huge Thanksgiving spread.  

I found my blog post from my study abroad blog, The Anchor Drops and felt a pang of nostalgia as I remembered skyping in for dinner last year while my parents and grandparents celebrated without me.  

Also, just found this from the movie Hans Christian Anderson (1952)

Wonderful, Wonderful Copenhagen from Danny Kaye.  

Singing it forever more.

Happy Turkey day

Not much has changed since last year's final survival guide, just the geographic location.

How do you cope with this extremely stressful week?

Water Color [101 in 1,001]

This past thursday I was finally done for the week.  No more papers, quizzes or thesis meetings.  I could just be for about 2 hours and it was glorious.  On my 101 things in 1,001 days challenge I promised myself I would at least do 1 watercolor per month to relax.  I love art and I get so frustrated with myself that I don't leave time for it.  So, I've decided that I will.  

When I was in Denmark I was bought this small little water color set and a sketchbook. It was so nice to just forget about my classes, forget that I'm 4,000 miles away from my friends and family and just be with me.  

I'm excited to make this a series and share with you my monthly watercolor doodles.  

Here are some of my favorites from my time in Copenhagen. 

What is your creative escape?
