Sunday in Rudkøbing

Hello! The GSE Team is now in Rudkøbing on the island of Langelands.  We started out our program here in Rudkøbing on the golf course at the Langelands Country Club.  We got a few pointers at the driving range from the golf pro at the country club.  After we practiced driving, we got to play three or four holes of golf.  We had a lot of fun and some of us have found our new talent.  =)


After golfing, we went back to spend the afternoon with our host families.  Since Amanda´s host lives close to mine, she joined me and my host for a walk through the town of Rudkøbing.  Since most shops were closed, we could only window shop.  However, we did learn quite a bit about the town, including Hans Christian Ørsted-the person who discovered electromagnetism, is from the town.  There is a nice statue of him in town.  We also learned about how many artists have galleries in Rudkøbing as well as authors.  Below are pictures from the walk.

We then had a relaxing afternoon sitting in the sun on the deck and talking with my host. The weather has been nicer and we are glad to enjoy the sunshine! The town of Rudkøbing also has a very nice harbor, which helps provide brighter sunlight because of it reflecting from the water.
