Denmark- Hirtshals, Hjorring & Parade/Opening Ceremony

I'll add a little more text later, but here is Denmark from a few different perspectives. Hirtshals, the city where the parents are staying, is about 17 Km (10 miles) North of Hjorring. A vacation (Holiday) spot for the Danish, a port city to the North Sea as well as a collection of bunkers from the days of Hitler.

A sign ot just a "round about", but a "double laned round about". Granted, nothing compared to the 5 lanes around the Arch of Triumph in Paris, but still the opportunity for multiple fender benders.




Downtown Hjorring. Here is the laundry brigade. The cleaning crew of the Fyrklit ended up using every available washing machine in Hirtshals to complete the laundry in one night for the 18 players. They were most embarrassed at the 92 Kg of laundry and commented that they had never done that much before at one time. The cost of $600 to complete embarrassed us just as much?!

Pictured walking away in the blue and towards the world flags is John Robert Larsen, the founder of the Dana Cup and Tournament Manager, now in its 28th year.

Parade and Opening Ceremony- Everyone loves a parade and the this was not exception! Everyone in the town gets in the action. The older generation comes to watch the parade. Generation X is competing and marching in the parade and Generationg Y is selling to them all! Here is a little more elaborate 'lemonade stand', but they are on the right path!

The parade was opened up with a Danish marching band and there was another one about midway through from Norway.

Our players were right behind Germany along with the other US team that marched in the parade from North Carolina. Venezula brought up the end of the 30 minute walk that was a little more than a mile in length.

The group Alien Beat Club performed a free concert that was a great mix of genre from all around the world.

The school the boys are staying is more modern, all on one level and in one building...showers, meals and the sleeping room.

And to finish off the day was the end of the rainbow. I imagine the 'other end' is in Illinois based on the weather forecast for the coming day.
