Very Danish lunch (traditional meatballs, marinated herring, dark rye bread, a little packet of lard--seriously, yummy)

So glad the Danish flags have those colors

Happy participant
Dan taking charge of the Amarone,
which has to be aerated just so.
In anticipation...
The food and wine are THIS good
Third, the first main course

"Absolutely" (Soeren)
Then fourth, comes the SECOND main course
All created by the master, finally with dessert (scented orange soup, handmade chestnut truffles, Spanish muscatel...)

By the lake near Dan and Julie's--this is really a wonderful city for bikes
This is a bank, Danish style
