We went to select a Christmas tree on Christmas eve |
This is our tree |
and this is what it looked like when we got it home |
|
Traditional Danish Christmas dinner |
My mum preparing the duck |
My Christmas tree |
|
We had too much to eat |
Getting ready for singing and presents |
My dad picking presents |
|
And me - we have a special tradition where we take turn to go around |
the tree, and say a verse, and when finish, we stop and pick a present |
Here is Helen with one of her presents |
|
Light decorated house |
Another one |
Here we are on one of our hikes |

Nice tree |

The weather was ok most of the time - here we are in Carmel enjoying coffee |
Carmel as some strange people |

We looked for whales, but did not see any - my mum thought she did |

Another picture from Point Lobos |
Yet another one |
All of use at Point Lobos |
|
We stopped for ice cream at Ghirardelli's in Monterey |
Yes, it is a big ice cream, but we finished it - Helen likes ice cream :-) |
We saw a beautiful sunset on the way back from Monterey |
|
Our New Year dinner - we did not do that much, as my parents were leaving the next day |
We still got some nice food. |
My parents checking in to go back to Denmark |
|
After saying good buy to my parents Helen and I drove down the coast |
We saw a really nice sunset |
Another picture of our sunset |
|
Later we went to Berkeley and stopped by Mt. Diablo on the way back |
We were just above the couds as the sun was setting |
A very nice sunset |
|
The clouds were coming up while we watched the sunset |
Se also went skiing, so we had to get up early. Yes, this is the sun rise |
Helen's first time on skis - she did quite well considering this. |
