Two days ago (D-Day), we traveled to Denmark, we arrived yesterday, (D-Day + 1). today we went walking around following the walk in Rick Steve's Scandinavia. We saw the cathedral, the theater, and the Viking Museum. The Århus Cathedral is the longest church in Scandinavia (at 330 feet long) and was built in 1520 with colorful frescos, including one of St. George slaying a dragon and Heaven, Earth, and Purgatory. Because Denmark went Lutheran 16 years later, all the frescos were whitewashed over, which preserved them. After the Cathedral we looked at the theater. When the theater was built, the local bishop put up a stink about this "house of sin" facing the cathedral. The builders then put a cocky little devil, on top. Then we went to the Viking Museum, under Nordea bank near the cathedral. This had artifacts from four Viking houses including a dead body, a model of Viking Århus, a reconstructed pit-house and a lot more and a lot more For more pictures of the Cathedral, Viking Museum, and the Theater, click here.
After lunch we went to Church of our lady, which has under it one of the oldest standing churches in Denmark. That night, Sarah arrived.
