Bornholm

We took a 'Family Trip' with some of our friends from Copenhagen International School Bornholm (An island east of Denmark in the Baltic Sea .) It was a wonderful extended weekend of sand, rocks, glass and friendship.

My friend, Trude.

Preston is happy as a lark because he's holding a bag of chocolates!

The sand on Dueodde beach is superfine and was exported for use in hourglasses.

Italy - Toscana October 2008

We took advantage of the fall school break and spent a week in Italy. We flew from Copenhagen to Florence (Firenze). We stayed at the Borgo de Colleoli.

San Gimignano - small walled medieval hill town in the province of Siena, Tuscany. It is mainly famous for its medieval architecture, especially its towers, which may be seen from several kilometers outside the town.
