When referring to Carnivals, people will usually think about Venice in Italy, Mardi Gras, in Louisiana, or Rio de Janeiro in Brazil… But in May, every spring, Denmark holds what is said to be the biggest carnival in Northern Europe. This year, Aalborg (Denmark’s fourth largest city) was holding its 25th carnival, and I was lucky enough to watch the…… Continue reading Carnival’s in town!
I was working all day, and had my share of this and that throughout the long shift, so I’ll take a day off from storytelling today. I have not arrived in Aalborg yet, in my travel blog. But I was reminded of the city by my good friend, Notthedane56 when he shared this picture with me this…… Continue reading Street art in Aalborg…

I can’t help it. I just can’t. It’s like a disease I caught on OM’s blog… And (almost) everytime, I have to fight back! I promise to try to get some help. Maybe. Someday. So here’s today’s obvious challenge from Jason! And here’s my reply to it: Yeah baby! Fighting back with Akvavit, the true…… Continue reading Picture Battle – OM vs Cyra
Just out of bed, with sticky eye corners and all. Sitting on the couch, wrapped in a blanket, thinking how good a millionaire I would be. It is grey outside. Grå. I don’t have a commun disease in Québec, drawing people to keep a close track of the upcoming weather. People here visit weather websites,…… Continue reading Shower day (not international)
