Rural Denmark

In the end, we might've seen more of Denmark than most Danish people have ever cared to see. We had time to kill before boarding the boat back to England, so we set off for a rural area where Kierkegaard's father was from, a town called Saedding (prounouced Setting). Apparently, the Kierkegaard family was a bunch of nameless peasants who were allowed, by a nice priest, to live on the land right next to the church. Thus, they became known by their location. "Kierkegaard" means "church yard."
This stone shows where their house once was. This is where Soren Kierkegaard (the theologian/philosopher Chris is studying) was born and lived until he was a young adult and moved to the big city, Copenhagen. He lived in Copenhagen the rest of his life until he died (in his 40's).
This is the church with a beautiful little cemetary amongst these rows of bushes. It was another chilly and windy, but beautiful day.
We left here and went to Esbjerg and waited in a long line to get on the boat and head back 'home.' So, this marks the end of our trip. Back to a phone and internet access, friends, the familiar, better contact with family, and our own space again.
