Danish Crush

The Danes truly know how to have a holiday, so we get not one, not even two, but three, yes three whole extra days off for the Easter holiday weekend.  It all starts with Skærtorsdag, which is the Thursday before Easter.  No one that I asked had any idea what Skærtorsdag means or stands for other than a paid day off from work, but I did some research, and it has something to do with The Last Supper.

The sun was out, and it was just slightly cool making it the perfect day to go for a bike ride to an outdoor European Cafe lunch, and then off to wandering through an endless garden.  After that, we headed to Brøndby Stadion to watch Torben’s favorite football club play to a victory.  This was the perfect start to what would be a crazy Easter holiday weekend.

The biggest fans all sit in one section, and chant throughout the game. This is a picture of just one of the times when they lit fireworks to distract the other team.
