Aarhus Botanical Gardens

This past Wednesday we took a walk through the botanical gardens located to the west of the Queen's palace in Aarhus (see above). Its about a ten minute walk to the gardens from our apartment and its worth the trip since the gardens are absolutely beautiful after the long, cold, wet spring that we had this year. It is just now, six months into the year, that we have finally seen a string of sunny warm days and we've been taking complete advantage of them!

After our walk, we came home to the start of a concert that was being held in the football stadium near our apartment. The warm-up band was nothing special but we immediately recognized the main band: Depeche Mode!! Since the football stadium (note to U.S. readers: think soccer stadium) is an open air stadium, and since the only thing between us and this stadium is a horse track, we could hear the entire concert perfectly. It was as if Depeche Mode had shown up just to play for us! I greatly enjoyed the concert and I've been humming Depeche Mode songs continuously for the past three days!

Enjoy the photos!
