Good Morning!
We woke up this morning and went to breakfast, and it’s funny every time we turn around Kiki always eating salami! We all had the usual, poppy seed rolls with jam and told our favorite lady “Tak fo Monath” (thanks for breakfast) After breakfast the jetlag really started to kick in so we decided to take a nap; not knowing that we’d sleep for half the day. Well only till Amy banged on our door “We are not wasting the day sleeping! GET DRESSED! Lets go!!”
We got out our handy dandy map and started walking toward Hjorring. Once we made it downtown we found yet again, another pizza place- but instead it was a Mexican-Italian restaurant. Sarah was the bravest one because she ordered what she thought was grilled chicken but instead she got half of a fried chicken and fries. We finished eating and the shopping began.
Our meeting place was the “golden ring” don’t worry we took pictures- Shanna, Kiki, and Tori decided to play on the ring while the rest of us went shopping at the local stores. We all got these really cool red and white hats that said “DANMARK” we wore them around the town so it was easy to find us. Amy says… “I don’t think anyone thinks we’re from this country based on our behavior in social settings- we’re just too giggly” Shanna FINALLY found some knickers- she’s been wanting a pair every since we got on the plane and she still wants another pair! After all of our adventures in the city we took home bags of clothes from H&M, Tiger, and Jeff’s.
The club always gives us dinner and tonight we moved over to the eating tents, and guess what…We had the same yummy mystery meat for the third night! We’re getting really excited, there are more tents popping up and more teams coming in- we met teams from Norway and Haiti. After meeting everyone we went out and played 3v3. We went out to have fun, but Amy got too intense so it wasn’t fun anymore. Just kiddin… ( : She took it to another level (she’s really competitive.) After we finished playing we went to the Danish McDonalds & bought 50 dollar hamburgers! Sarah got some ice cream, Abby got a kids meal, Shanna and the rest of the girls bought some yummy dinner.
Headed back to the club house and sat outside and all checked our facebook. The sun does not go down here till about 11:00 pm and rises at 4:30 AM. The reason we know when it rises is because we were still awake last night till then playing dress up!!

Woke up this morning and headed to the eating tent to have a new breakfast item. Very excited to eat corn flakes! We will be training with the Fortuna 1st team at 9:15. We were a little nervous, but turns out we had a GREAT practice. It was kinda intimidating because all of them show up wearing all black and there were 15 of them! Heidi, the goalie was legit- she’s the third best in Europe. Practice was awesome, we played possession and other field games while Shanna trained with the goal keepers.
