For those of you ambitious people who want to attempt a little Danish, "jeg elsker dig" means "I love you." As you all know, today is February 14th--the day of love. Valentine's Day in Denmark is relatively new. If you look hard you can find cards, balloons, roses and maybe even a teddy bear, but it's nothing like the explosion of pink and red that we see in America. Even though V-Day is not really a holiday here, a few friends and I used it as an excuse to treat ourselves to crepes. Annie, Leah, Kara and I went to a creperie near our school called La Galette. Everyone ordered a savory crepe except for me. I was all about the sweets today! I had a chocolate and banana crepe and it was fantastic! Even though Valentine's Day is kind of cliche, I still missed Mike more than usual today and was glad that I got to spend some quality time with friends. Also, everyone was home for dinner tonight (all 7 of us), which is unusual. Lisbeth cooked a wonderful meal and even made some little cakes for a special Valentine's dessert. It was "en dejlig aften," which means a nice or lovely evening.
