Mary Ann visits Ginger

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!This past weekend my friend Mary Ann was here from Bath to visit me! She arrived Thursday night, and I took her to the laundry mat cafe for food and hot chocolate. It was a very hygge time. Then, on Friday I walked her all around town and showed her the major sights, which is quite a bit of walking. Eventually, the weather got worse and worse (The weather became horrible once Mary Ann got here), so we decided to go to the National Museum. It was a lot of fun, my favorite part was the children's section of the museum. We got to dress up in some sweet viking gear. Mary Ann enjoyed the fact that about every other exhibit randomly had a skull in it They also had some bog people, which were really interesting. Here I am pretending to be a vicious viking!

On Saturday, we went to La Glace for some cake, since Mary Ann's birthday is Thursday. It was, as always, delicious! This time I got the H.C. Hat, which was a chocolate caramel cake. We then went off to the Carlsberg factory, where they make what is "probably the best beer in the world". Their slogan epitomizes the Danish modesty, and I definitely agree with it! The factory was really fun though, and we met up with my friend Lindsay who also had a friend visiting. The self guided tour wasn't that impressive, but we did get two free beers at the end!
Here we are in front of the Carlsberg elephant, one of their mascots.

That night we went out for mexican, since there are no mexican restaurants in Bath. After that we had a pretty low-key night, and just stayed in to catch up and watched a movie. Sadly, Mary Ann had to leave really early Sunday morning, but it was so nice to see her for the time she was here!
