Roskilde Part 2

Roskilde Music Festival, and Denmark by extension, is a summer camp for adults.  With only a few weeks of good weather a year, the Danes celebrate 20 hours of sun a day by not sleeping, eating delicious food and drinking copious amounts of Tuborg beer.  The festival line up was tops - we enjoyed The Fleet Foxes and The Whitest Boy Alive especially, as well as Kanye West, Coldplay, and Fever Ray.  We lived in an orange tent, made friends with our Swedish neighbors, swam in a dirty pond, and rode an eco-friendly, bicycle-powered ferris wheel.  The atmosphere was at once tranquil and hectic.  There was a surprising mixture of people young and old, dirty and clean(er) but overall we were impressed with how well organized everything seemed to be: recycling centers, storage lockers, hot showers, bountiful food options and even vintage shopping.

...Still, we were grateful for Bonnie's Charmin and Wet Wipes.

  1. Okay...if you thought the splendor in the grass shot might raise an eyebrow. it didn't. Without the your tans and with the cut-off jean shorts, there is no question that you are voyeurs and it's not a "self-portarait". If I'm wrong, don't tell me about the "road-side" noo-kee.
    Love you,
