Hej! So after a month of really amazing weather, something that many Danes have told me is unusual for this time of year, it is officially cold in Denmark. Of course, it probably feels worse to me than it does to all of the natives. This morning my Danish teacher commented on what nice weather we were having today (it was not nice weather, it was cold). But the good part about this time of year is that it's Fall, my favorite season! I can already see the leaves starting to change colors, and warm, delicious soups have started cropping up as part of dinner. It's wonderful! It also means that I get to see some of the Danes' Fall traditions, and my host family introduced me to a fun little one this past weekend. Here Ingrid and I are sifting through fallen leaves to find chestnuts. During the Fall kids will go out collecting them to make little animals with matches and/or toothpicks. My favorite part was probably just stepping on crunchy leaves, because who doesn't love to do that? We went back home to make several giraffes, spiders, and other fun little creations. They're beautiful, no? I'm sure this is only the beginning of the fun traditions my host family will introduce me too. I'm excited to see what a Danish Halloween will look like. How similar or different will it be to what I'm used to back home? I don't have any super special Fall or Halloween traditions that I do every year, but if anyone has any ideas for American Fall traditions I should introduce my host family too, let me know! Vi ses!
