Skøjte

I just had a lovely afternoon going ice skating with my host family! It was a beautiful day so I was glad to get outside and soak up the sunshine, even if it was only 2° C. (Yes I use celsius now. Deal with it.) My pride was slightly dented because I kept saying how I could ice skate well and how I've done it my whole life, and then when we got there, the rentals were all hockey skates. I've only skated with figure skates before! Although I never actually fell, I was definitely didn't look like an expert out there...but I was proud to learn a new skill without making a complete fool out of myself.

There were so many children falling everywhere and it was very adorable. They also had these little penguin things that children could hold onto while skating so they wouldn't fall down:

I also enjoyed hot chocolate and fresh chocolate chip scones after my feet hurt too much. Then we walked around the Frederiksberg Gardens. All in all, a lovely Saturday in February!
