Odense is a fairly big city, it seems. And there, our first stop was to the Hans Christian Anderson Museum. It was opened especially and exclusively for our group.
We were taken on a tour of the place and our guide told us about the life of the famous author and fairytale creator. (FYI: If you don’t know the true ending of “The Little Mermaid,” which Anderson wrote, go look it up.)
We stopped off for a few minutes at St. Knud’s Church in downtown Odense after the museum. The choir sang a few of their songs while the rest of us admired the beautiful architecture of the cathedral.
At Knud's Church in Odense, Denmark
Everyone had fun playing on the architecture in the squares in downtown Odense. After shopping and having lunch for a couple of hours there, we got back on the bus for the hour and a half drive to Agaard, Denmark, where we are currently. The group is going between a church and a school here in Agaard.
Getting in position: Keyla, Audrey, Monica, Saul, Phil and Danielle
I'm thinking about managing their six-person band
The school is a boarding school where children come to study and practice gymnastics. We will eat dinner with them tonight and attend school with them tomorrow. Tonight, the choir will perform in the church almost across the street from the school.
The pastor of the church, who I don't know the name of yet, told us the concert was publicized on Danish radio and also in the newspapers in the area. He is hoping the church is full for tonight’s performance.
I’m hoping to post an update after the concert tonight to tell you how it went.
