Backpacking through Europe in 1994

Day 46 • October 22, 1994
Rødekro, Denmark, Day 2


Thirty years ago I was staying with my friend Dorte, who had been an exchange student to Kearney High School, and her boyfriend Anker, in her hometown Rødekro.

On this day we went to a soccer match and then on a walk through a forest - two activities that I couldn’t do back home in Kearney, Nebraska, at least not in 1994, before soccer became a popular sport in America.

DAY 46 / 10-22-94
Rødekro, Denmark, Day 2

Today I found out that in Denmark they even have stupid late-night infomercials during the day. This morning I saw Jane Fonda’s Total Body Workout & The Salad Master.

Dorte & I went shopping, then the three of us went to a soccer match. After that we walked through a forest called Pamhule. Then we picked up Dorte’s friend Lise before coming home and eating dinner.

Then we watched “The Russia House.” That move sucked. I thought with Sean Connery and Michelle Pfeifer it would be good but it wasn’t.

Went to bed early because we have to get up at 7:30 tomorrow.
