Exploring the Costa del Solrød (7/6/24)

Bob and I have begun our housesit for the imposing but sweet Kobe after having had a great walk through with our young family homeowners, who are off to the US for a family visit with the husband’s family, a short cruise from California to Mexico and back, and a trip to Las Vegas. A great way to celebrate the wife’s 40th birthday!

Kobe is a 3 year old German Shepherd (female) named after Kobe Bryant. She is a mostly calm girl except when meeting new people and/or dogs she’s not fond of. She likes to be near her people either playing ball in the yard or lying on one of her beds.

In terms of our new location, we are loving the super clean Solrød Strand (known as Solrød) with all of its neighborhood paths (usually a separate walkway and bikeway side-by-side but divided. Our current house is in a small subdivision near the daughter’s school and about a 20 minute walk into the town center with multiple grocery and retail options as well as hair salons, one of the two local train stations, and municipal buildings.

In addition to all of that, Solrød lies on the Koge Bay, so has a beach as well as a marshy inlet. We went to check out those areas today as well as do a small shop at the Netto grocery in Solrød Center.

We thought this was clever and somewhat ironic
as it seems to rain off and on all the time here.
