Louisiana

Louisiana? No, we are not back in the US yet. Today we went to Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, located 35km (22 miles) north of Copenhagen. We took the regional train to go up there. It was a chilly and rainy day again, and the heater was on on the train and it was comfortable. Can you believe it???

The museum is situated directly on the shore, so one can see the shore of Sweden across the ocean on a clear sunny day, but of course with the weather like today, there was no such view - just the rough sea. The museum is often called "the most beautiful museum in the world", and it is also the most visited museum in Denmark. Surely, the museum itself was breathtaking, but there were just too many people today, probably because of the rain, it was a little overwhelming.

We got there around lunch time again, so we went to the cafe and had a really nice buffet lunch. Afterwards, the kids had fun in the "kids room", making some art , again with recycled materials. And we finally got to walk around the museum a little bit, but soon Yuto started to get cranky, and we were tired as well, so we decided to head home. It is a shame we couldn't spend more time there. During the summer, the museum is open until 10pm (when it's just starting to get a little dark), and the cafe serves dinner as well. I would love to come back and enjoy the art and the beautiful setting when it's a little less crowded.

A very sad incident happened today...

Those of you who know Mio well, you may remember her baby doll whom she calls "Baby". She has had Baby for two and a half years now, and she sleeps with her, plays with her, and she takes her everywhere. You've probably figured out what happened today. Yes. Mio LOST her Baby! Almost always, she carries Baby in her hand when we go out, but today she put Baby in her little Anpanman backpack. We took the bus, the metro, and the regional train. It wasn't until we were at the Museum cafe that we (she) noticed she didn't have her backpack! We think she forgot it on the train, so tomorrow, we have to callthe railway company to desperately find Baby... I really hope some nice conductor or someone picked it up and turned it in. Please pray for Baby! Baby, we'll find you!! It will be too sad to lose her just like this...
