women are) of men only thinking of her as an object and not as a warm human person. She knew that I liked her for her and she in turn accept- ed me as I was knowing the full situation. We simply sensed this about each other and were drawn together because of it.

July 21. That had been the night of the moonlanding and walk so we got up and watched the rebroadcast of it “at a more convenient time" as they say. It was remarkable to see as you will all remember but it was somewhat marred by having to listen to all the commentary in Swedish and not only then but all the rest of the day on the car radio. After lunch we took off for the rest of the drive through Sweden to Helsingborg where after about a 2 hours wait we got on the ferry and went across to Denmark.

We made directly for Erna's home where her wonderful parents had a dinner set up for all of us and a few of the Danish girls. We had a lovely time till about 9 p.m. when Jane and Dick drove Gerd and my- self to the Copenhagen airport where I had to put her on a plane back to Stockholm.

That evening Erna took us for dinner to the famous restau- rant atop the Hotel Europa from which you can look all over the beau- tiful city. After dinner we met with one of the other local girls, Winnie by name, and a friend of hers and all of us walked through the famous Tivoli Park which was very interesting and different.

July 23. Erna and I did the National Museum where I was both in- terested and disappointed to find that there is practically nothing about the Danes of old and their accomplishments, wars, and territories controlled. The curator on being questioned said, "modern Danes are gentle people and we wish to forget our warlike past.” One of the Danish girls later said, "Well, we Danes lost all our wars so we pass over them." But the museum was fascinating for its stone and bronze
