60. My oldest sister was born in the US
by accident (our parents were on their way back from England after the war and mum went into labor in the New York harbor). She went to college in the US, graduated and moved to Denmark because one of her room-mates was Danish and told her about the place. She married a Dane and has lived there for 38 years including five years in Greenland. They wouldn't give it up for anything. She actually gave up her US citizenship during the Vietnam War. It was funny listening to her bawl about the Florida heat last weekend during our reunion. She sure enjoyed shopping in Florida with Euros though. :D Mum went to high school in Belgium and studied in England so we grew up hearing more about Europe than the US. After dad died in 83, mum spent most of the rest of her life in Denmark.

If we didn't love the Caribbean so much, we could live in Denmark and be very happy. I love the easy pace outside of Copenhagen.
