Dear Jasper and Kestrel,
Our stay in Denmark is coming to an end, but there are still adventures to be had.
Liza’s favorite walk, for example, is along a particular stretch of the Horsens fjord called Elbaek Skov. It has an unusual sort of forest that could only exist in the protected environment of a fjord.
The huge trees that grow at the very edge of the water lean way out, looking for open sunlight. And since the waves in the fjord are almost nonexistent, the trees are not damaged or eroded, but just keep leaning and growing.
Like so any of the beautiful places in Denmark, this area amazingly accessible. A small parking lot leads to a gravelled path, which runs parallel to the shore. Without the sound of crashing waves you would expect, the feeling of peace and tranquility seeps slowly into your bones and when you are done walking, you feel better than you did when you went in.
We walked until we were halfway tired (as my Dad would say), then headed back home for lunch and more chat.
I know I have to go home soon, but I am sure going to miss these lovely people and this pretty country.
Love,
Grandma Judy
Dear Liza
