Motion Sensors For Dogs

Blue Nights (Part 1 of 3)

I spent a couple of days in Jutland. Well, I spent a short week ago, but I take liberty to discuss it with more temporal proximity, because time is malleable, as we know we have seen the amazing final episode of the fifth season of LOST.
We left a sunny morning with our backpacks loaded with two baskets full of food Fakta unhealthy purchased by the pool. We had an InterRail ticket that allowed us, in less than six hours to reach the other side of the country, Hjørring city in Jutland. The trip was very peaceful. The landscape was monotonous but beautiful: grass and more meadows, occasional grove, tiny villages and scattered houses. On the train we were laughing a lot, playing with names of other people beat us in front and we had to guess who we were (this child may seem, offers plenty of twisted minds as a ours).

We, as I say, Hjørring, where we caught a little train station to our people, Hirtshals. This second train was more like a bus, was empty and had to ask the stops hitting a button. What function these Danes.
Hirtshals is a small but important because of its port, many ships coming from Norway. So every time we looked we saw huge sea ferries and the occasional freighter arriving or leaving. A sea very nice, by the way, when the sun took much longer to wear. We walked to our hotel, which was at the end of a row houses that overlooked the beach. We took our room and went down to the sand. I guess
know that, as in winter the sun never went Kiruna in summer never will. In Hirtshals the sun set, but the light of day was never going down. The sun set at 9.34, and the sky went orange and violet colored midnight. So yes I thought would be completely black, but it was not, the purple horizon continued until, at about 2.30, was beginning to clear. But one thing.

saw the sunset from the lighthouse of the town, which is very beautiful and is surrounded by bunkers underground. Then we went back to the hotel and had dinner with tomato rice. There were two teams, the chefs and the sinks, telling me in the latter.
The expedition members were Fer, Eva, Paula, Josema, Blanca, Maite, Mike, Sandra (the only non-English, poor) and me.
Once dry the dishes, we went to the beach to watch the stars and try to ignite a fire. Despite the availability of toilet paper the hotel, it was impossible, because straw and wood were very wet. Ice cream, went to the hotel and slept in our bed each and God in everyone.
