Odense. Day 3. (15th June 07)

The Train got us in on time to Odense, and we hardly needed the map to get us to our hotel as we reminisced most of the way with 'I remember that bit' and 'It's a right turn here'. When we saw 'our' church, we knew we were right on track.
We had stayed in The Ansgarhus last year and were impressed by the kindness of the host and the general feel of the hotel. The only bad thing is that he doesn't have any double beds in the place, but we can rough it for a few nights. We actually tried the mattress toppers together on the floor for the first night, but in the morning our backs were in a state of rebellion, so we didn't go there again.
Anyway.
We checked in and were given our room, #15, a little smaller than last year, but we had a balcony, and the rain that we had left in Copenhagen hadn't followed us here, so we could sit outside if we wanted.
A quick freshen-up and the 5 minute wander to the gallery (which we could actually see from the balcony) to get a first look at our pictures.
Again, we never managed to sneak in as Becky was there and caught us. We chatted briefly and walked into the room with our art. The big room on the top floor.
It was awesome, again. It is a really special feeling you get when you see your work hanging up in a public gallery. I couldn't begin to describe it, but I felt it last year, and we both felt it this year too.


The gallery was closing up, so we just had a quick shimmy round the rest of the rooms, and then we left in the direction of the park, HCA's house and some food.
We happened upon a nice looking Mexican place and settled in. The nachos were amazing! Mostly over here it's like someone has heated up a plate of Doritos or something, but these were freshly fried and smothered with all the good stuff (and no guacamole! :oD) The main courses were very tasty also and were really filling. No refried beans though :o(
After a wander back through the city and a pit-stop at a 7/11 for sweeties, beer and cake, we arrived in time to sit out on the balcony where we raised a toast to the gallery, and ourselves of course.
A couple of movies to help us chill out for the long day ahead and we drifted off (as well as we could considering the above mentioned sleeping arrangements.
