12 ways to make a Dane happy:

1) Show him mountains. Big mountains. Big snow-capped volcanic mountains that people ski and snowboard on year-round
2) Show him rivers. Big rivers. Rivers so big and broad he says, "Wow that could be a sea."
3) Tell him he can fish for coho (silver) salmon in the rivers for $12 a day or $45 a year (He's used to paying hundreds a day to fish in Sweden, apparently they do not have good fishing or decent-sized rivers in Denmark).
4) Tell him that his hotel room is on the biggest river in the State, and that a huge fisherman's store is across the street from his hotel, and that the local fishing hole is a 5 minute walk away.
5) Carry the tackle for him as he wanders the store loooking like a kid in a candy shop, talking excitedly about getting up at 5:30 am (!?) so he can go fishing.
6) Show him the aisle of micro-brew beers, so he can have a beer while he fishes. (Portland has more breweries in its city limits than any other city in the world, and one in four beers pulled off tap in Oregon are microbrews.)
7) Leave him alone with his fishing pole for 12 hours.
8) Feed him once a day.
9) Make approving noises over the salmon he wants you to cook when/if he catches one.
10) Remind him that he has free wifi at his hotel room if he wants to come indoors (He says that if he lived where I lived he would game a LOT less).
11) Take him to the coast for a day or two. He thinks he will see bikinis, but most likely what he will see is kites. Still, the dungeness crab is in season and the salmon are just running for the fall, and I promised him a chance to ride a recumbent trike on the beach, and to get a photo of him doing it, for his kids.
12) Show him the area that I based the Holm off of.
