Thursday, June 5

This morning, we were already back to packing a suitcase, but since we were not leaving until the afternoon, Mark and I walked downtown (nippy and partly cloudy, but it never rained) and ran a few errands in the morning. We also stopped by a former church that is now a museum, but this week has a special program going on: since the interior walls are going to be redone, the museum curators invited everyone to use their own art medium to make (or exhibit) their own art for one week, in which the building is open 24/7. We saw some very interesting art and lots of graffiti on the wall, and we built something with paper tubes that were set up for that purpose. Fun! We also had a cup of coffee in one of my favorite cafes, which has a mezzanine/loft area where you can sit and have coffee (Cafe Laer), and then we walked home and had lunch with Imke at about 12:30 before gathering our luggage and walking to the bus to the main station. The trip to Hamburg takes less than 2 hours, which seems like no time at all after the 8+ hours from Copenhagen! We took public transportation to our friends Peter and Andrea’s house and got there at about 5 pm. We hung out at Peter and Andrea’s place, just shooting the breeze, had a lovely dinner that Andrea cooked for us, and talked all evening until it was time for bed. Kai got to sleep in Andrea’s tiny art studio, which I think he thought was seriously cool.
