06/02/2006 Entry: "Living History, Danish Stylee"

Peter Rukavina has been taking a long vacation, traveling through Portugal and now Denmark. He's got a great description (with photos) of the day he spent with son Oliver at a living history center, the Lejre Experimental Center. "Our first activity, ably guided by staff person Sara, was to take some wheat and turn it into flour. We did this by pounding. And pounding. And pounding. A rock against a bigger rock. As we were in a 'between kindergarten classes' empty spell, we had the wheat pounding area to ourselves, and Oliver and I each had our own station. Because of my awesome strength and advanced years, I was able to best Oliver's output; Oliver, however, had a much more entertaining style."
