Hey Droogies, just checking in to let you all know that the missus and I are alive and well. We've made it to the land of the Vikings (evidently they don't call it that here) and we are having a wonderful time. To all you who warned us that it would be cold, and wet, and expensive, and windy, and etc.... Well, you were all right. It is cold, and wet, and expensive, and windy ... Also, not so many people in pointy hats drinking grog. We're are having a blast however. I've gotten to spend the day hearing about some outstanding crystallography and becoming jealous of a structure lab that has a real focus. The wife and I also spent yesterday at Den Gamle By or "The Old Town" where we had a visit through Danish history seeing the architecture and culture past of the last 400 years. Of course, this had no Vikings either. It is funny that they don't focus on their history here. I mean, the Vikings were only 1000 years in the past. Not that long ago. I mean, we Americans still talk about bellbottoms...

In closing, if you want to learn about Vikings I'd advise going to the Jorvik Viking Centre in York, UK. Don't bother with Denmark. Cheers all and we'll keep you posted.
