Travel: Arnolds travel from Fairplay to Denmark 2025-10-28 - between Copenhagen and Aalborg, Denmark - Photo by Veronica Arnold. Veronica writes of her recent trip overseas, "We flew into Copenhagen and then drove north for a bit to catch a ferry, to shorten our drive time as we head further north. It's a bit colder here with lows in 30s and highs in 50s. When we saw the coast, we had to park, get out and walk a bit.

With wind coming from the coast it feels colder I think." Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
