we happened upon the School for the Deaf
We were very fortunate that they were open and had a few staff and a couple of students there. They are also on summer holiday but had a type of day care for students whose parents were working. Two very nice Deaf gentlemen gave us a brief tour and were more than willing to chat with us. Melissa captured a lot on video. The younger of the men, Andreas, had just returned from a year at Galluadet, so he played the role of our Danish Sign Language interpreter. The school services about 65 students ages 13-17. The Communication Center happened to be next door to the school. It is where they train interpreters, teach sign language to parents and families of Deaf children.
Melissa was out wandering and met some more Deaf folks in passing as well as a girl who attends the school we visited and has a Cochlear Implant.
Due to some technical problems, Cindy's computer crashed and Melissa is missing the cord to upload her pictures to the computer, photos are limited.
We have been doing a lot of walking and it feels like we walked all of Copenhagen today. After we do a bit more touring tomorrow morning we are off to London!!!
